Mrs Sheila Ordish
Governor Type: Co-opted Governor
Responsibilities: Link governor for SEND (including Inclusion)
Information about Myself:
I joined the Governing Body as a Co-opted Governor in 2021. My professional background is in Human Resources, including recruitment, employee relations and people development. I have always enjoyed seeing individuals develop through learning and development opportunities. I was fortunate to have received an excellent state education and wanted to volunteer as a governor as I believe that all young people should receive the best possible life chances through high quality education and associated activities. I have lived in Harrow for almost 30 years and hope that I can bring some of my experience to support the governors and the school.
Ms Jacqueline Elliott
Governor Type: LA Co-opted Governor
Responsibilities: CPD, PSHCE
I have always had an ongoing interest in our children’s education and also the environment in which they receive it!
My professional career has always centred in ensuring that people are getting the best out of their most valuable assets - themselves. I have worked as a Talent Partner within the Human Resources department of a fashion retailer head office for over 10 years. Interviewing people and sourcing the right person for a position is a multitasking brainteaser that I love to solve.
Recently, I am working alongside the government, helping people back into employment.
Within my childrens school the work I did as Vice Chair of the parent association and a Parent Governor for four years has shown me how much Schools need our support and expertise.
I highly recommend that we all get involved in our children’s education where possible. However I also recognise the reasonings of those that want to but cannot.
I aim to help bridge the gap for many parents by doing my part within Glebe.
Mr Hemen Shah
Governor Type: Parent Governor
Responsibilities: Finance
Information about Myself:
I am a partner at one of the Big 4 Consulting practices. My professional background is in financial crime and forensics data analytics. One of my passions and key personal goals, is to develop talent in data and analytics at grass roots particularly in girls. I live in the local area in Kenton and both of my daughters attend Glebe Primary School. I will bring all my professional experience in ensuring school resources are used optimally, parents requirements are taken into account and the school is run successfully.
Mr Sash Hamidi
Governor Type: Ex Officio
Responsibilities: Headteacher
Information about Myself:
To be a headteacher of a school community is a privilege, an extraordinary responsibility and a high-level of accountability under the Nolan Principles for those serving in public life.
I am immensely proud of Glebe. It is a school which has been on a challenging journey and whilst there are challenges on the horizon, the staff, governors, parents/carers and children are all committed to work together to enable our children to be the best they can be.
Our motto MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE TOGETHER is a lived culture. Governance ensures we are doing the right things for our children today and for the future.

Ms Katherine Hawkins
Governor Type: Staff Governor
Responsibilities: CPD
Information about Myself:
To serve as a Staff Governor is both an honour and a significant responsibility. It requires a deep commitment to the Nolan Principles and a dedication to acting with integrity, openness and accountability on behalf of our school community.
Having worked at Glebe for ten years, I have seen first-hand the resilience, ambition and warmth that define our school. In my role as Head of Year 5 and 6 and Reading Lead, I am privileged to work closely with pupils and colleagues at such a crucial stage in their primary journey. I am continually inspired by the determination of our children and the unwavering commitment of the staff who support them.
Glebe has faced challenges, but it is a school that continues to move forward with purpose. Our success is rooted in the strength of our community—governors, staff, parents and carers all striving together to ensure that every child is empowered to thrive.
Our motto MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE TOGETHER reflects more than our aspirations; it is evident in our daily practice. As a governor, my role is to ensure that the decisions we make today uphold this shared vision and protect the opportunities and experiences of our children, both now and in the future.

Mrs Ngozi Anajuba
Governor Type: Co-opted Governor
Responsibilities: Vice Chair
Information about Myself:
I have served the Governing Body for over 10 years ago, first as a parent governor. With 4 children who flourished at Glebe, I have a deep personal investment in the school’s continued success and its vision of “Making a positive difference, together.”
My background as an IT consultant allows me to bring a highly analytical and strategic approach to school governance. My experience in problem-solving and project management has helped me when reviewing school resources, long-term planning, or as a link governor for ICT, Mathematics, and science, ensuring that our pupils are equipped with the digital literacy and STEM skills necessary for the modern world.
I am committed to my role as a critical friend. I will continue offering support while providing the necessary challenge and strategic oversight and ensuring the highest levels of accountability to maintain an inclusive environment where every child achieves their full potential and where leaders and staff feel supported and valued.
