Geoff Nuzum
Parent Governor (Safeguarding)
Geoff Nuzum moved to Runcorn with his family in 2013. He has two boys who attend The Heath School (in Years 8 and 10). After serving in HM Forces for several years, this former Army Officer is a passionate advocate of youth development and championing young adults to ensure they have the best opportunities to succeed in life.
A senior manager with many years of strategic and operational management experience. He relishes a challenge and always looks to identify opportunities to make improvements to systems of work, whilst bringing teams together to solve problems. Outside of work he recently stepped down from leading and coaching Runcorn Cricket Clubs Junior Section for 5 years, in that time he built a women’s and girls’ team from a standing start, and helped young players grow and develop through the power of sport, teamwork and collaborative working with his fellow coaching staff.
He is now very much looking forward to working with The Heath School team and the governors and hopes collectively they can make a difference to our children’s educational standards and outcomes, which he hopes will stand them in good stead for their working lives.
Danielle Egan
Trust Appointed Governor (SEND)
Danielle has worked for the Department for Education for nearly 20 years and has always taken a keen interest in local schools, both professionally and as a mum.
Danielle currently manages a unit that considers school compliance with legislation/statutory guidance and therefore has a good amount of expertise to offer The Heath in her capacity as a Governor. Danielle was previously a governor for four years at Palace Fields Primary School, so she is already familiar with The Heath Family Trust.
