I have 1 grandson at London Meed and as a retired Primary Head teacher I hope that I contribute both expertise and enthusiasm to the school.

Mrs Nicoleta Balan

I am a Year 6 class teacher as well as the Mathematics Lead at London Meed. I have two teenage girls who both attended London Meed. I am the current Staff Governor.

Mr Matthew Bament

Parent Governor

I am a parent governor with two children who attend the school and seeing the way in which their schooling had become such a big part of their life motivated me to become a governor.

Professionally, I work for one of the UKs biggest banks in a Senior Leadership role and in my career have always been focused on helping people to thrive. As well as skills in Finance and Leadership, I bring a pragmatic knowledge of Diversity & Inclusion that I hope will really help to build a rounded school that reflects the communities we serve.

I am a newly Co-opted Governor at London Meed School.

Children's education is something I am passionate about and I am therefore thrilled to be involved in schools once more.
