Board of Governors

The main tasks of the Governing Body are to ensure pupils receive high quality education, to plan for future development and improvement, and to support the school.
Our Governing Body is made up of community governors, LEA governors and elected parent and staff governors. The Parent Governors are elected by other parents and serve as Governors for a period of 4 years. Parent governors are valued members of the Governing Body team and play a vital role as representative parents. The full Governing Body meets six times a year with three of those meetings forming part of Governor days focused on school improvement. Further information on the Governing Body's approach and on the content of the Governor days is in the document Governing Body Single Structure' please see link above.

Governors

Mr Richard Laux

Co - Chair / LA Governor

I joined William Hogarth School as a Local Authority Governor, in early 2023. I am a Government statistician, currently working in the Cabinet Office, and so I am comfortable with interpreting data and exploring what it means in real life and working in public administration more generally. For several years I was a Governor (and Chair of the Finance Committee) at Kingsley Academy.

Mr Pierre Kremer

Co - Chair - Parent Governor

I am a citizen of the world, who has been calling London home since 2014. Married with two children (both at William Hogarth). A former secondary language teacher myself, I hail from a long line of educators. Currently a management consultant focusing on business strategy, business operations, and organisational change for both corporate and government entities. Besides my passion for education, I joined the governing board back in 2021 with the aim to lend my consulting skills and experience to the betterment of the William Hogarth school.

Ms. Yasmeen Cappucini

Parent Governor

What a privilege to be asked to be a Parent Governor in September 2023. I moved to Chiswick in 2007 and have two children who both love The William Hogarth school. My career has been in science and technology, working for public sector organisations and companies that deliver products to public sector organisations, from the Metropolitan Police to Channel 4. I am skilled in research and development, analysis and management. I am currently working on global deployments and building partnerships to help my organisation scale up. My maternal grandmother was illiterate, in a time and place where her father felt his resources were best spent on her brother's education. My grandmother instilled in my mother, and in turn in me, the value of a good education and how it opens doors and provides opportunity. I am passionate that every child has access to a good education which provides high academic development as well as social and emotional growth in an inclusive environment. I look forward to working with the Governors and the school on delivering the very best outcomes for its students.

Mr. Christian Cox

Staff Governor

Mr David Andrews

Co-opted Governor

I am a co-opted governor and a school parent. I am a corporate lawyer in the telecommunications, media and technology sectors with experience in Australia and the United Kingdom. I am passionate about education and the opportunities that this creates. In my spare time I like to travel and cook.

The William Hogarth School is committed to having an active Board of Governors that is diverse and inclusive and reflects the community we serve. Where we have a vacancy we will actively seek volunteers from that community, although in the case of both Staff and Parent Governors, in the event of multiple applicants, they are elected by a democratic vote of the Staff or Parent body as applicable.
