I have been involved with Romiley Primary School for over 20 years. All 3 of my children were pupils, they had a wonderful start to their formal education and began a lifelong love of learning.

Being a Governor enables me to put something back into the school community which has played a significant role in the life of my family.

As a Speech and Language Therapist I am passionate about communication and speech and language acquisition and development. It is important that each child is able to access all areas of the curriculum and reach their full potential whilst at Romiley Primary School.

It has been my privilege to be a Governor at Romiley Primary School since 2009. My 3 daughters have all loved their time at Romiley and have received an excellent education in a caring and nurturing environment.

My aim as a Governor is to support the staff as they continue their excellent work educating the whole child and to ensure Romiley Primary School continues the journey to outstanding.

As a retired Chartered Accountant and Group Finance Director, I understand the financial constraints placed upon the school and the performance criteria upon which it is to be judged.  I have extensive recruitment and staff relations experience and most importantly, the time to devote to the demands of this role.

Romiley Primary School is an excellent school and although my twin daughters are now in Year 8 at secondary school, they remember their time here fondly. As a parent, I was proud to be elected to the Governing body in early 2020, and to be able to give something back to the school that had helped my girls so much.

I sit on the Resources and Staffing committee, which as a Chartered Accountant in practice in Stockport, is an area I feel most able to make a contribution to the running of the school.

My term of office as an elected parent governor comes to an end in 2024 and I would encourage other parents to stand in my place. I would be happy to share my experiences with any parent that is interested.

I have been a teacher for many years and am currently Head of Maths at a secondary school in Stockport.  I know how much of a difference attending an excellent school and having caring and passionate teachers can make to a child.  It has been a joy to witness this with my two children who love coming to Romiley Primary School each day.  Without exception, all of the staff involved with them over the last 7 years have been wonderful. 

I am pleased to have been given the opportunity to give something back to the school.  I want to help ensure it continues to develop and nurture each and every child whilst providing a well-balanced and broad curriculum

I have worked as a teacher at Romiley Primary School since 2019. I am currently a year 4 teacher having previously worked in year 1. This has enabled me to gain greater knowledge of the key stage 1 and 2 programmes of study and how they are delivered in school.

I strongly believe that children should be treated as individuals within a happy, secure environment whilst experiencing a broad and exciting curriculum. I am enthusiastic about the creative arts and in particular music as they give children the opportunity to develop different skills.

My role as staff governor is to help to ensure that Romiley Primary continues to provide an engaging and inclusive curriculum for all. Furthermore, I feel that I will be able to provide a link between staff and governors through giving an insight into the inspiring teaching that takes place at Romiley.

Link governor for Physical Education, Music & Wellbeing

I have lived in the Romiley area most my life and my three children attended the school. Having retired from my teaching career after 39 years I wanted to contribute to the community I live in. Being involved in areas of governor responsibility that fit with my knowledge and experience enables me to make a positive contribution.

Romiley Primary has been and continues to be a great school with sound values and high standards set for its pupils. It is a school that offers children a rounded education which I believe is essential to the growth and development of each individual. As a former PE teacher and competitive GB athlete I have a keen interest in the present and future health, wellbeing and active lifestyles of children in today’s world.

I feel that being a governor gives me an opportunity to help ensure our school has a bright future for all the children.

As a former secondary maths teacher now working in education policy, I deeply value the role that schools play in enabling young people to be the best that they can and  succeed in life.

I wanted to become a governor to learn about and contribute to the local community (I only came to Romiley in 2021), to continue to understand the issues being faced in education today and to be part of a school with such a commitment to its pupils.

I feel privileged to be a Governor at Romiley Primary School, where the staff work relentlessly to provide the best education that they can for their pupils. I can’t wait for my toddler to join in a couple of years time.
