Mrs Tricia Eastley

Co-opted Governor and Chair of Governors

I am the current Chair of Governors and have been a Co-opted Governor at London Meed for a number of years. Two of my grandson's attended London Meed and as a retired Primary Head teacher I hope that I contribute both expertise and enthusiasm to the school. I am currently the governor responsible for Safeguarding and HT Performance Management. I am a member of the Finance and Pay Committees. If you would like to contact me please email chairofgovernors@londonmeedprimary.co.uk

Mrs Nicoleta Balan

Mr Matthew Bament

Parent Governor

I am a parent governor with two children who attend the school and seeing the way in which their schooling had become such a big part of their life motivated me to become a governor.

Professionally, I work for one of the UKs biggest banks in a Senior Leadership role and in my career have always been focused on helping people to thrive. As well as skills in Finance and Leadership, I bring a pragmatic knowledge of Diversity & Inclusion that I hope will really help to build a rounded school that reflects the communities we serve.
