I was invited to become a governor in 2014 by the Local Authority, a job I was honoured to accept. I quickly enrolled on the new governor training course. It was then I realised how much responsibility and accountability is laid on the governing body. Changes in Education Ministers and curriculum made the challenge and the learning curve greater.

I am the Health and Safety governor including the Well Being of our children, all our staff on site including our head teacher. The Curriculum area I am responsible for is the Gifted and Talented. This duty is to oversee with the teaching staff their understanding of all children and perhaps those who  under achieve in academic disciplines but shine in other ways such as music, art, sport; quick thinkers who sometimes work alone but can also be positive leaders.
