Governor Profiles

Dr Susana Carvalho, Chair of Trinity LGB

I am a proud mum of three high achievers’ daughters that work hard and have found the proper support and challenge first at Speenhamland School and then at Trinity School. One has now graduated in Chemistry, the middle one is an undergrad in English Literature, and the youngest is thriving in Trinity.

I’ve practised Medicine with a speciality in Oncology for 18 + years, gaining a variety of skills, including in non-medical areas, developing my communication abilities, fairness, willingness to always strive for the better good of others and learning to value and respect each person. I have many passions, and Education is undoubtedly one of the greatest. I firmly believe that a School is more than an institution; it’s an essential part of a student’s life that will always make a considerable difference towards their choices and success in their future. If I can help ensure that we have the best teaching and experience for our students and the well-being of the staff who work with them daily, I believe I’ll be making a valuable contribution to our society.

I am a proud Governor for the Newbury Academy Trust, and I believe in their collective Ethos and strengths.

Mrs Daisy Dupree-Loxton

I am so proud to be a member of the Trinity School Local Governing Body and take this active part in my local community. I am the Head of Wellbeing at a Financial Service organisation having built my career in HR. My work and interest focus on smashing the stigma around mental health and encouraging open and non-judgmental conversations where people feel they can be their authentic selves and thrive. I am very active in campaigns around the improvement of early years education and funding and for working rights for working parents.

I have a young daughter and have lived in Newbury with my husband since 2021.

Mr Wil Johnson

I am a Detective Sergeant in Complex Investigations in the Thames Valley. Having started my career as an Engineer, a change of direction seventeen years ago to Policing meant a return to training school and exams. My last course was a vocational foundation degree in complex investigations. My role within the public sector ensuring deadlines and performance standards are met can also involve child protection matters. In addition, I am a member of the rewards and recognition panel that acknowledges the efforts of not only Police but members of the public. As well as being a Father of a child at secondary school, my profession and prior experience as a Foster Carer has given me an in-depth understanding of the very real issues children of today face. I believe that education is vital in empowering children, and young adults, to believe in themselves and inspiring them to strive and achieve their very best. Education provides essential opportunities for all children to thrive, unlock their potential, discover their dreams and furthermore attain them. Every child really does matter and to develop a love of lifelong learning is invaluable!

Mr Bruno Reis

I have a passion for education and a strong desire to make a positive, lasting impact on the students, faculty, and community of our school. I have a Bachelor's degree in electronics and computers and have been working in telecom for more than 20 years.

I am also a strong believer in collaboration and I’m comfortable working with diverse groups in order to find solutions to complex problems.

I wish to use my experience to contribute to the betterment of our school and create a positive learning environment for our students and educators. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate and make a meaningful impact on our community.
