  Mr Daniel Stone

  I studied at Hamstead Hall from Year 7 until the end of Sixth Form. After leaving the school in 2007, I went on to read Economics and Management at the University of Oxford. I also have a Masters from UCL in Educational Planning and Economics. I have led a number of national initiatives designed to help young people access top universities and gain employment with top employers in the UK. I worked as a Project Manager for the University of Birmingham and am currently working as a civil servant in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. I am proud to be an ongoing member of the Hamstead Hall community and to work with teachers, parents and pupils to create a learning environment in which all can achieve success.

  Mrs Maxine Blake

  As a retired civil servant, I spent the last 25 years supporting people with disabilities to continue in work with financial support and helping the unemployed back into full time work. Since 1984 I have served at a Pentecostal church in the capacity of Public Relations Officer promoting information and protecting the church's stance in the community. This led me to get further involved in other community events. I volunteered my experience in events to help combat gun and knife crimes in the Handsworth and Hockley community during the period of 2005-2011. As Parent Governor at Cherry Orchard Primary School (2007-2011) I supported the teaching staff and served on the Attendance and Finance Committee.
