 Mr Antony King - Staff Governor

I am delighted to have been appointed as Staff Governor at Hungerhill School. I have been a Head of Year at Hungerhill since January 2022 and I am currently Head of Year to an amazing cohort of Year 8 students. 

Previous to this I have had similar roles at schools in Doncaster and Goole, where I also sat on their Local Governing Boards.

My career in the Royal Navy, prior to one in education, has given me the skill set of leading teams effectively to bring the very best out of them, which is the reason I wanted to be a representative of the student’s voices at Governor level ensuring that they get the very best from their journey at Hungerhill.

 Mr Jon Watson - Link Governor for school visits

I feel that I have a great deal to offer both Hungerhill and the Trust.

I am passionate about education. I am an experienced Primary leader and want to further extend my knowledge and experience. I also want to support my local community (I live in Barnby Dun, having lived in Edenthorpe for the previous 10 years).

I am honest, professional, enthusiastic, and a good team player. I am willing to learn, like asking questions and always offer loyal support.

His expereince covers school in a number of positions and what is required to continue further improvement.  Through his role at Heritage High School, he has supported the development of the school, making significant improvements and now the change of CEO is further developing him as a leader.  All of which he feels can play an important part in maintaining Hungerhill School as a lead within the borough.
