Our Governors come from a range of backgrounds, and bring different areas of expertise to the school. Governors contribute to ensuring high standards of achievement for all children in the school by:
A Governor’s role is to support and challenge the senior staff to continue to improve the school. It is largely a thinking and questioning role and Governors are not there to manage the school or do the jobs of school staff. Governors fulfil their role by regularly attending Governing Body meetings, providing strategic guidance and by asking probing and challenging questions of leaders within the school. They also undertake visits, serve on relevant committees and oversee the Headteacher’s performance management.

Responsibilities:
I am privileged to have been invited to be a Govenor for Heathlands Primary School. I have over 5 year's experience working across both Academy Trusts and Maintained Schools in a variety of roles.
I am originally from an investment services background, but I chose to change career and entered the education sector as I felt passionate about 'wanting to make a difference'.
Whilst the financial climate is challenging for many schools, I am looking forward to supporting Heathlands to continue providing a varied and well-considered offering to the children.
In my personal life, I am a mum to two children and in my spare time I enjoy walking our dog Max with my husband, socialising and musical theatre.
