KWC College appoints former pupil as chair of Governors

The Managing Director of an established law firm is set to become Chairman of Governors at King William's College (KWC).

Manxman Peter Clucas of Cains - a former college pupil and current President of the KWC Society - succeeds Nigel Wood who's stepping down after 26 years as a school governor.

This has included Mr Wood holding the role of chair for the last eleven years.

Speaking about taking up the post, Mr Clucas says: "I said yes to this post, partly because of the affection I have to school and the fact I’ve always had the interests of the school at heart, but also because of the role it played in shaping who I am.

"It is a well-run school; one school, albeit on two sites each offering choices in education which the Island needs; it is also a business; but, above all, it is a community.

"Key to it all is the relationship between the school, the pupils and their parents and guardians and I am looking forward to working with all members of our community in the years ahead."
