Board of Governors

Mr Richard Laux

Co - Chair / LA Governor

I joined William Hogarth School as a Local Authority Governor, in early 2023. I am a Government statistician, currently working in the Cabinet Office, and so I am comfortable with interpreting data and exploring what it means in real life and working in public administration more generally. For several years I was a Governor (and Chair of the Finance Committee) at Kingsley Academy.

Mr Pierre Kremer

Co - Chair - Parent Governor

I am a citizen of the world, who has been calling London home since 2014. Married with two children (both at William Hogarth). A former secondary language teacher myself, I hail from a long line of educators. Currently a management consultant focusing on business strategy, business operations, and organisational change for both corporate and government entities. Besides my passion for education, I joined the governing board back in 2021 with the aim to lend my consulting skills and experience to the betterment of the William Hogarth school.

Mr David Brennan

Vice chair / Co-opted Governor

I joined the WHS Governors 7 years ago and have taken great satisfaction from the role. From the Governors meetings, school visits and meetings with Ms Stockley and the team at WHS, it is clear to me that there is a determination and team spirit to make the school the best it can be for the children. I recognise the importance of this as I am in Education myself. I am a teacher of 22-years and a former Head of Maths, having worked in many schools across the world including Singapore and Hong Kong. Having a galvanised group is fundamental to a successful school and that is what I have seen at WHS so far. When not in schools, I enjoy time with my family and friends and family as well as running and golf.

Ms Mariam Mohiuddin

LA Governor

I joined the Governing Body in January 2021. I am a qualified chartered accountant, having trained and practiced with Deloitte within the FTSE audit department. This year I joined Superunion, a brand agency part of WPP Plc, to provide corporate communications consultancy to FTSE listed clients building an annual report. I am excited to join the Governing Body, to provide a new perspective as a younger member as well as utilising the skills I developed in training for my ACA and in audit. I have experience mentoring primary school children whilst at university and have a younger sister at secondary school in Ealing (who also attended William Hogarth), therefore I have seen first-hand the pressures faced by both students and teachers. My aim is to support the school - both students and staff, in a 'Well-being' capacity, and ensure that the school obtains the right support to deliver on all future plans.

Dominic Hughes

Co-opted Governor

I was delighted to join William Hogarth as a Co-Opted Governor in October 2020. I have over 16 years’ experience as a primary school teacher and senior leader, including three years’ as interim headteacher in schools in Hounslow and Ealing. I am passionate about improving children’s academic and social outcomes and believe this is best achieved through a collaborative, research-informed approach to school improvement. I am also interested in how schools and teachers can optimise the use of technology in school and at home during and after the pandemic. I hope my knowledge and experience will support and strengthen the strategic leadership at William Hogarth. In my spare time I am a keen gardener and armchair cricket fan.

Ms. Yasmeen Cappucini

Parent Governor

What a privilege to be asked to be a Parent Governor in September 2023. I moved to Chiswick in 2007 and have two children who both love The William Hogarth school. My career has been in science and technology, working for public sector organisations and companies that deliver products to public sector organisations, from the Metropolitan Police to Channel 4. I am skilled in research and development, analysis and management. I am currently working on global deployments and building partnerships to help my organisation scale up. My maternal grandmother was illiterate, in a time and place where her father felt his resources were best spent on her brother's education. My grandmother instilled in my mother, and in turn in me, the value of a good education and how it opens doors and provides opportunity. I am passionate that every child has access to a good education which provides high academic development as well as social and emotional growth in an inclusive environment. I look forward to working with the Governors and the school on delivering the very best outcomes for its students.

Mr. Christian Cox

Staff Governor

Mr David Andrews

Co-opted Governor

I am a co-opted governor and a school parent. I am a corporate lawyer in the telecommunications, media and technology sectors with experience in Australia and the United Kingdom. I am passionate about education and the opportunities that this creates. In my spare time I like to travel and cook.

Rebecca Fitzgerald

Co-opted Governor

I am a writer, broadcaster and journalist who has lived in Hammersmith for 30 years. My last book was about the Pilgrim Fathers, who sailed on the Mayflower. I was previously involved in a multi-academy trust based in Hammersmith. I moved to Stamford Brook in September 2023 and was keen to be involved in a local school, having raised 3 daughters in the area. I believe it is crucial for society to commit to bring out the best in every child. I joined the Governing Body in May 2024 and I am impressed by Mrs Stockley's enthusiasm and the school's energy. In my spare time I enjoy gardening and seeing family and friends.
