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 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.

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.

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