About Philip Osman
I'm a Governor of Parkwood Hall Academy, Kent, UK. I've been a general counsel and company secretary in my career & am a solicitor.
The reason for registering with this website is that Parkwood Hall has substantial land assets which could be better developed to provide state of the art school and other facilities for its students. We could expand our residential provision and extend our services to a greater number of pupils and over a greater age range than at present (we currently take children from 8-19). There is a big need for additional places in our area for schools like Parkwood Hall and we believe that, subject to planning and funding, we have a unique asset which could be used to improve the provision for students with the disabilities such as those with which our students have to cope.
