Meet our Governors

Meet and Contact the Chair - Manish Trivedi
I am delighted to introduce myself as the Chair of Governors at Frederick Bird Academy and to welcome you to our school community.
Frederick Bird Academy holds a special place in my heart. I began my teaching career here and spent twelve years as part of the staff team. Having grown up in Hillfields, I feel a deep connection to both the school and the local community. I now work internationally with schools in Dubai and Qatar as a Lead Practitioner in Primary Computing, but Frederick Bird remains a place I care about greatly.
As a governing body, we are committed to listening, working in partnership and supporting the school to continue moving forward. Open and honest communication is key to ensuring the very best outcomes for our children and families.
Our children benefit from a dedicated team of staff who work tirelessly to provide a safe, caring and inspiring environment every day. Each child knows there is an adult in school who will make a positive difference in their life, and that is something we are incredibly proud of.
We have already made important progress and I believe we are on a strong journey towards an even better future for our children and our community. Together, we will continue to build on this success.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
