Charlene Lyons has been appointed as the new Chair of Governors at The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL), taking over from Angus Martin, who is retiring after over a decade of remarkable service to the school.
Charlene has been a governor for nine years and vice-chair for the past five, and she brings a wealth of experience in leadership, governance, and business. She is currently Deputy CEO at Imparta, a trustee of Leeds Hospitals Charity, and is a longstanding member of the GSAL community. Her new appointment marks a special milestone as GSAL’s first female Chair of Governors.
On her appointment, Charlene said: “It is a privilege to serve as Chair of Governors at GSAL – a school that combines academic excellence with warmth, care, and ambition. As both a parent and governor, I have seen the profound impact that a GSAL education has on its pupils. I look forward to working closely with the principal, my fellow governors, and the wider school community to ensure we continue to provide the best possible start in life for every child.”
