Governance

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.
 

I became school governor because I am committed to supporting the school and its community.

Having been involved in my children’s education at Chantlers, I wanted to continue contributing to the school’s growth and help ensure that all students have the same opportunities for success and help ensure that all students thrive. 

Volunteering allows me to make a lasting difference, and I’m proud to use my time and skills to support the school and its future, beyond just my own children’s experience
