My name is Paul Jennings. I am a Cov Kid and I went to school at Keresley Grange and Coundon Court in Coventry and have lived and worked in the city nearly all my life.I worked for Coventry City Council in the finance department for 35 years as a qualified accountant with experience across many departments of the Council including Education.In my spare time I love to keep fit by running and playing 5-a-side football. I try and take every opportunity I can to be outside whether that be hill-walking or attending music festivals.
As well as my role with the Sidney Stringer Multi Academy Trust I am a governor at Woodfield School. I am also on the Finance Committee of Coventry Cathedral and serve as a Trustee on the Board of The Tin Music and Arts charity.Although my two children are adults now, as a parent it is easy to see how important in all kinds of different ways a supportive school environment can be to young people growing up and I am keen to support the MAT to continue the excellent work that it does.
