Lawley Primary School and Nursery

"Planting the seeds, growing the future"

Mr Ben Thomas

Parent Governor

I am a parent of two children currently attending Lawley Primary School in Year 4 and Year 2.  My eldest son was also a pupil at the school before moving on to secondary education in 2022.

Professionally, I have spent the past five years working with West Midlands Ambulance Service and now work as a Newly Qualified Paramedic, having completed my training in November 2025.  Prior to retraining, I worked for 14 years in finance as a Chartered Accountant, most recently within the social housing sector.

I hope to use my professional experience in healthcare and finance to support the school in areas such as safeguarding, strategic planning and financial oversight.

As a Parent Governor, I am committed to supporting the school’s leadership, ensuring strong governance, and helping to create the best possible learning environment for all pupils.  I am proud to give back to a school that has given so much to my own children and look forward to contributing to its continued success.
