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.

Noel Melvin

Position

Joint Vice Chair of Trustees

Description

My 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.
