Paula Swalwell
I am currently the parent of a year 11 student and have served in the Royal Air Force as a mechanical aircraft engineer for over 25 years. I have been heavily involved in youth engagement activities as part of RAF Benson and other units, including acting as the Lead STEM Ambassador for many years. I am passionate about encouraging young people to achieve their full potential, whatever that may be.
I have been a Parent Governor at Icknield Community College since September 2021 and also currently serve as a Co-Opted Governor at RAF Benson Community Primary School. I have extensive experience of working with resources and school budgets and hope to use my experience to help the school continue its success.
