Sam Anderson-Parker

I joined the governing body in 2024 as a parent governor. My daughter is due to complete her journey at Hill View in Summer 2025 and my son will hopefully be joining Hill View in September 2025. 

For the past 10 years, I have worked in children’s social care as a strategic commissioner and more recently as a commissioning manager. My role has been to ensure children receive the best possible care and services by scrutinising all provision commissioned to ensure it meets the children’s needs, this includes their educational needs. 

I have extensive knowledge and experience of the special educational needs sector, not only having been a children’s commissioner, but also as a parent of a child with additional needs. This lends itself to support the school and the children with its SEND provision and education.

Previously I have been a co-opted governor for a local primary school where I used to live in Berkshire. I led on pastoral care and SEND. I gave up this position when we moved to Bournemouth in 2019. 

I enjoy having the opportunity to support the school, the children and the parents and carers through my role as parent governor.
