GOVERNING BODY
MR GRAHAM MAHER
Chair of Governors
I feel privileged to hold the role of Chair of the Board of Governors at St Joseph’s School. I believe that I have the necessary skill set to make a meaningful contribution to this warm and aspirational school.
I am a serving headmaster with 30 years of experience in Catholic schools. After completing my degree in Theology I went on to take a PGCE and MA at University College London. I became a Headmaster in 2012 and have successfully steered the academic and pastoral life of my schools. I am keen to use that experience to support Mr Higgins and members of the Senior Leadership Team. Education that nurtures nimble, enquiring minds, compassionate souls, and a desire to create a better world for themselves and society can be transformative. This is a view of education I endorse and I look forward to supporting the school in the years ahead.
I am married with two teenage sons. We all enjoy walking with our dog, reading and family debate!
