  • Tamzin Arora
    Chair

    Tamzin Arora

    I am a parent governor appointed in the 2020 Autumn Term. I have 3 sons at Christ Church school in YR, Y3 and Y5. I am a child rights lawyer and have practised as a barrister in London as well as working internationally with street children and with unaccompanied and separated children in refugee camps for the UN. On the governing board I am very interested in equality, good governance, safeguarding and curriculum. My ethos is centred on children's rights, of which education, safety, happiness and opportunities to flourish are key components. I have been elected Chair annually for the last 3 years.

    Daniel Chalkley

    I am an active member of the school community and my daughters, Jessica, Lydia have attended Christ Church and Emily is a current pupil.

    I own and manage a medium sized business which specialises in Asbestos Removal. Our main customer base is large multi-national organisations and we currently employ around 80 employees. My main focus is relationship management; ensuring that our strategies, practices and technologies enhance our customer relationships and improve retention. I also believe I have strength's in managing and motivating people to achieve theirs and the business's goals.

    I believe I can make a positive contribution to the well-being of the school by providing balanced and objective guidance and support. Those that know me, know I'm approachable and friendly but not afraid to question and challenge. I'm impressed by the positive developments Mrs Print and her team have made and want to contribute to the continuation of that progress. Unlike many school governors I don't have an educational background and feel this allows me to bring a different perspective to the table.

    More than anything I'm a parent and want to help ensure the best school experience for all the children and their families. I care greatly about Christ Church and want to help it achieve its goals and the continued development of well-rounded accomplished children.

He's now been in church ministry for over 30 years ministering in urban and suburban parishes in Essex, Bucks, Portsmouth, Poole and now at Christ Church Barnet (www.ccbarnet.org.uk) His main passion is to see the church at the heart of the community reaching all ages with the love of Jesus.

    I live in Enfield and was appointed as a Governor in May 2022. I am originally from South London and have two grown up children but moved 'North of the River' ten years ago. I am active member of St Michael's Church in Enfield where I am currently serving my Second term on the Parochial Church Council there. Professionally I am a Management Consultant working within the Education Sector advising Clients how to get the best from their limited financial resources. I am very passionate about education and believe that every child should be given the opportunity to fulfil their potential. As a Governor, with no other connections to the School, I believe I can bring fresh and creative ideas to the Governing body that are not constrained by preconceptions and can be easily translated into practical changes.
