I chose to be a Governor of Chantlers as I am committed to the long-term success of the
school. I work in a secondary school.
As I had been the Staff Governor at a local Primary School until my retirement and there
were vacancies at other schools, I chose to continue being a School Governor.
When I am not attending Governor's meetings, I enjoyed many hobbies including sewing,
reading, knitting, gardening, theatre and restaurant visits. Along with my husband, I visit
our caravan regularly and am a national-level Athletic official.
I am a retired Police Officer and Local Councillor.
I have been a Governor at Chantlers since 2018.
I chose to become a school governor to help the school improve and develop. I am very keen to make sure all children are safeguarded and can fulfil their potential regardless of their special educational needs, disabilities or background.
I am a head chef and I have been one for over ten years. I have a lot of transferable skills, I manage and question budgets and spending, deal with health and safety issues and make difficult decisions.
I am the Deputy Headteacher at a local Primary School, where I have taught for 14 years. My passion lies within EYFS and phonics but I am also involved with mapping our reading curriculum across the school. I work closely with universities, delivering lectures, assisting in recruitment and mentoring students throughout their degrees.
Throughout my career, I have felt it extremely important to fully understand and develop my abilities surrounding the intent, implementation and impact of whole school systems and procedures and I have become fully adept at using data to devise and advance strategies for school improvement.
I have worked in primary education for 25 years and had many roles during that time. I am currently the Deputy Headteacher at a small school in Stockport where I am the curriculum and attendance lead.
A primary school is such an important part of any child's life and where skills are developed, opinions are formed and passions emerge. It takes many individuals working together to make a school a place where every child can feel they belong and feel supported to be the best they can be. I feel privileged to be one of those people at Chantlers Primary School.
