Awaiting Bio

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.

Nirav Joshi

Trust Appointed Governor

Nirav is a Senior RF and Optoelectronics Engineer at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory (UKRI), where he leads multiple engineering teams. He holds a PhD in Accelerator Physics from Royal Holloway, University of London, and previously conducted research in nuclear fusion in India.

As a primary school parent, Nirav is deeply committed to supporting the local community. He strongly believes that a high-quality education and a positive school environment are vital for social mobility and shaping young people's futures.

Through his leadership role in a major scientific organisation, Nirav brings valuable skills to the governing body, including team management, strategic planning, and analytical problem-solving. He is eager to volunteer his time as a school governor to give back to the education system and help ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
