Our full board of Trustees meet six times each academic year and there are two sub-committees.
The two sub-committees are FARB (Finance, Audit, Risk & Buildings) and S&W (Standards and Welfare). Each committee is led by an elected chair from the Trust Board. Others make up membership of these committees according to their skills and experience.

NameNoel Melvin |

DescriptionMy background is in education as a youth and community worker, teacher and headteacher. Having trained in Sheffield and Newcastle, the majority of my career was in Leicestershire as a community college principal, in and around Coalville. I also served as an executive headteacher of a pupil referral unit to help it to improve from its special measures category. I am driven by a commitment for the best education for all pupils. I have a particular interest in the power of the creative / expressive elements of the curriculum (especially sport) and the outcomes for vulnerable youngsters. Education transforms lives and it is a privilege to help in the process. I admire the dedication of the Trustees at Seva School in their pursuit of excellence and look forward to seeing the school thrive. I enjoy life through sport and the outdoors and with my children and grandchildren. I am also a Trustee at a community centre in Leicester where I live. |
