Chris Coverley
I have over 20 years’ experience as a primary headteacher in three schools, two in Derbyshire and the third in Nottinghamshire. Following early retirement from headship I worked with the Nottinghamshire NHS Healthy Schools team and then linked up as a school assessor with the national PSHE and pupil voice award scheme ‘Investors in Pupils’. I am now self-employed as an education consultant (part-time) and advise schools on a variety of pupil-based issues including the development of pupil voice and mediation/conflict resolution training.
I see my role as a trustee to offer the SHINE schools my experienced support, particularly focussing on the personal development of pupils and looking at ways to identify and remove any barriers that may impede their learning.

Sam Clulow
As a small business owner, I understand the difficulties of establishing and maintaining a sustainable business in today’s environment of strict compliance oversight. I feel I have a good grasp of the challenges facing the MAT in these formative years and hopefully the vast array of personal & business connections I have made over the past 17 years across many sectors will hopefully aid SHINE in supporting and developing the leadership group to ensure that the MAT and all the participating schools provide the very best in primary school education to all children.

Judi O'Leary
I am an experienced Headteacher, previously the Head of Whitemoor and Birklands Primary in Warsop. I was appointed as a leadership consultant at Riverside Primary in Nottingham. Previously, I have worked for Nottinghamshire as part of the LA school improvement team to support schools in an Ofsted category. Successfully moving schools from a category of concern to good within a year due to a tried and tested school improvement programme, effective in all school settings.
My most recent Ofsted report (February 2016) positively highlights my desire to remain forward looking as a leader, continually adapting practice appropriately leading to ‘a high level of consistently effective teaching’ with Whitemoor’s systems being described as ‘innovative and distinctive.’

Even though I have lived all of my life in Nottingham, I have taught Food Technology and Textiles in Leicestershire secondary schools for 30 years. I have been part of Senior Leadership teams for over 21 years, fulfilling the roles of Assistant Head, Deputy and Acting Headteacher. I am looking forward to working with the SHINE MAT team to share the knowledge and skills I have acquired to improve the education for children in my home town. I understand the importance of a great start in Primary Education and believe that a broad curriculum with enrichment activities will enable all children to find their talents and achieve their full potential.

David Bailey
Most of my working life has been within public sector scientific research organisations – initially at the Natural History Museum in London and later at the British Geological Survey in Nottingham. During my career I have developed an interest in encouraging and supporting excellence and creativity in science education for all ages, from Early Years to the Third Age. I am particularly interested in breaking down the barriers that lead to a lack of diversity in the scientific workplace. I am an active member of the STEMNET Science Ambassador and RGS Geography Ambassador schemes. As Vice Chair of BMAT, I gained experience of supporting and challenging an Academy Senior Leadership Team during a period of significant change both to the organisation itself, and to the education sector more generally. I have also been an independent member of Admission Appeals Panels for schools in Leicestershire for many years. I believe my scientific career and experience as a trustee of several charities have given me a broad appreciation of the principles of good governance, accountability and financial control.

Paul Hawkins
I have been a Derbyshire resident for all of my life and served as a police officer in the county for 30 years before retiring in 2014. I then worked for the police for five years as an Information Security Manager before retiring in May 2019.
I have been a school governor for over 20 years at both primary and secondary schools as well as serving on the management committee for Derbyshire Special Schools. I sit on the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Appeal panels for school admissions and I am currently vice-chair of the board of governors at a Derby secondary school. I also sit on Independent Review panels for school exclusions.
I am now semi-retired and work occasionally an examination invigilator. I also carry out voluntary work with the Royal National Institute for the Blind.
I have always enjoyed volunteering in schools, and supporting children to achieve their best, as education is key to so many things in life. Now that I have more free time and am looking forward to supporting the school and everyone connected with educating our children.
