James Dickens

I run my own Data and insights business and have done since 2015.  We focus in helping growing eCommerce retailers and Professional Sports clubs maximise their Performance intelligence through detail data analytics and reporting.  This not only has given me the opportunity to build a wide array of skills in both organisation and communication that compliment my inquisitive, numeric nature, but also enables me to volunteer my time to other area’s that I’m passionate about.  I believe the Icknield not only plays a pivotal role in the local community but also the personal, and educational,  development of its pupils.  The school has seen incredible development over the last 10 years and look forward to contributing to this continued success where I can from a governor perspective.

My wife and I moved to the area in 2008 and have both our children having been through the local Primary school and now at Icknield.  I previously held a governor position at our local Primary School, also within the Acer trust and look forward to bringing my experience both in business and in governance as well as learning more about the operational side of Secondary Schools and the challenges they face.
