Governors

Chair of Governors- Chris Tuffey 

I am honoured to be Chair of Governors at Mulgrave School, having joined as a co-opted Governor in early 2022. As a school governor since 2008, my motivation stems from a deep belief in the transformative power of education and its pivotal role in shaping a safe, happy, and successful future for our children. 

Mulgrave stands out to me as an energetic school that has created a safe and stimulating environment, serving as a launchpad for children to realise their full potential. The school fosters a lifelong love of learning, providing students with the tools they need to navigate the world ahead successfully. 

 

With nearly 40 years in financial services, including international experience, I believe I bring a wealth of insights to the governing board. I strongly advocate for the importance of numeracy and confidence with numbers, recognising their role in social and economic mobility. I have witnessed firsthand the value that a diverse and inclusive culture brings, and I am passionate about fostering such an environment at Mulgrave. 

Beyond academics, I have a keen interest in sports, health, and overall wellness, understanding the positive impact of physical activity on the mind. I believe in nurturing not only academic excellence but also the holistic well-being of our students. 

It is a privilege to contribute to a school that is known for its nurturing, creative, and successful approach to education. I am excited about the opportunity to be part of Mulgrave's journey in providing an enriching educational experience for your children.
