Ben Marks, Co-opted
Role on board: I joined the board in September 2022 as a co-opted governor.
Professional skills/Background: I am an experienced secondary school teacher at a large school in Berkhamsted and lead the teaching of Computer Science across all key stages. My role also includes the strategic planning and implementation of IT provision for students in the classroom across all subjects.
Interest in being a governor: I have had strong links with Bridgewater School for several years assisting in the IT provision of the school as an external contractor. I am keen to lend my skills and experience to the school as a whole. I believe Bridgewater is a great school where students receive an incredible experience and I am keen to help students reach their full potential.
