Jake Wiid - Co-opted Governor

I joined LBIS in June 2021 as a co-opted governor. I have worked closely with the school in a professional capacity since 2011 providing training for the staff.

 In my working life I am an Adviser working with schools, trusts and local authorities throughout the UK, Europe and Asia. Providing compliance, health and safety and safeguarding support. I specialise in Educational Visits. I believe every child should have the opportunity to experience the very best education has to offer. Our job in education is not to prepare students for something. Our job is to help students prepare themselves for anything.

 I joined the governing body to provide support to the school in preparing our current and future students for a world that doesn’t yet exist.

 In my personal life I have three children (two 5 year old boys and a 3 year old girl), I enjoy climbing when time allows and I am reading Law, a life long ambition since leaving school.
