Co-opted Governor - Chair of Governors & Finance Committee -  End of Term - 11-12-27

Pinfold is a very happy and exciting place with wonderful staff who do their very best to give the children the skills and confidence to reach for the stars. I know this because I've been a governor here and at Arundale for almost 10 years and I worked at Hattersley Neighbourhood Partnership for 5 years. It's great to see our schools working together at the heart of the community. I'm now a DfE National Leader of Governance working with lots of different schools sharing best practices. I am currently Chair of the Board and Vice Chair of the Finance Committee.

My relationship with Pinfold Primary Schools started in the December 2005 and over the years I have witnessed children who have been part of the warm, loving and academically engaging Pinfold environment become responsible and accomplished people.

 

Working with Pinfold as Governor permits me to be part of this journey, ensuring we continue to achieve best possible outcomes for pupils and people who are part of the Pinfold family! It is a unique and rewarding experience.

I am a local mother of 4, two of which attend Pinfold Primary and two who will be starting in the future. I think the school have been amazing for my children, acknowledging and supporting their unique ways of learning. Due to this I was keen to be involved in the governing board. 

In my day job I work in child protection and hope that this will be of benefit on the governing board.

I have lived in Hattersley for more than 14 years and I have seen 5 children (up to now) attend Pinfold Primary School. For the last 19 years I have worked on the railway until I took early retirement in 2020. My partner and I are both Foster Carers for the local Tameside Council and currently we look after 5 children.

I am a great advocate in sports and activities for all children as I believe it definitely improves their overall health as well as mental health.
