Colin Watson Chair of Governors 

My name is Colin Watson chair of governors at Wyvern school a role which I took on during 2023, I become a parent governor in 1999, just after my son started at the old school site in Willesborough, I was part of the governing body during the building and move of the school to the new site at Buxford and its subsequent extension to the school it is today.

I am married with 2 children and work for a local company as a Project Engineering Manager working on a wide variety of projects, this will with the team of Governors and their varied skill sets allow us to help the school to offer a wide varied educational experience which will get pupils ready for their  future post Wyvern.
