Mrs. Gillian Binnie (Term Ended)
I was delighted to join Grendon’s Governing Board earlier in 2018.
My background is as a secondary school teacher in London and Birmingham. I taught History and other Humanities subjects in east Birmingham for many years. I became SENCO then Director of Inclusion/Assistant Headteacher.
As well as experience of helping students with special educational needs and/or disabilities to achieve their targets and move onto the next steps, post-16 and beyond, I have worked in the areas of English as an Additional Language (EAL) and with hearing impaired students, as we were fortunate to be able to establish a hearing resource base at school. I retired in 2017. I am doing a little part-time work at my previous school, but also enjoying the chance to catch up on sewing, gardening, theatre, music and travel, and have started a part-time MA in West Midlands History - so I am a student too!
We have two daughters who have benefited greatly from education in the second city; one is now a physiotherapist and the other teaches at a university.
Being a governor at Grendon is a chance for me to ‘put something back’ into the Birmingham education community. I have only been a governor for a short while, but am very impressed with the children’s behaviour and efforts, the staff I’ve met so far and the colourful and positive environment. I want to contribute towards the strong ‘We can’ ethos at Grendon and to help the school, staff and students move forward to even greater achievements.
