Jane Walton

Jane has been involved as a Governor and Trustee of Trust in Learning Academies for around 14 years. She currently serves as Chair of the School Improvement Board for Filton Avenue Primary School and also sits on the Board of Trustees. Her roles have included being a Link Governor responsible for SEND and Safeguarding. 

Other commitments include being a Trustee and Vice-Chairman of the Bristol Festival of Music, Speech and Drama and she has been running the Vocal and Choral sections of the Festival since May 2018. Her personal experiences with her son led to her firstly becoming a Trustee and, more recently, Chair of the Board of Trustees of Bristol Autism Support an organisation set up to support parents and families affected by autism. 

Jane teaches singing at Redmaids' High Junior School, Montpelier High School (where she is also choral director) and St Bede's Catholic College as well as conducting Henleaze Ladies' Choir and Cote Lane Singers - a community choir based at St Monica Trust's Cote Lane Retirement Village in Westbury-on-Trym. She believes that everyone who wants to should be given the opportunity to sing to the best of their ability.
