Current Vacancy

 

 

 

Chris Belcher

Health & Safety 

 

My ultimate reason for becoming a school governor was to assist in any way possible in making the school as good as it can possibly be.  My career background in specialist engineering, project management and health and safety has equipped me with skills that I hope can be used to benefit the school, its students and its staff.  I have an honest and professional approach to my work and hope this shows during my time as a school governor.  I live in the local area with my partner and have two young children.

Being a governor is a privilege and enables me to contribute positively to the local community. My education provided so many brilliant opportunities, starting from my time in primary school. Therefore, when I heard about the chance to become a governor, and use the skills I have gained from my professional career to contribute to providing the same opportunities I had, I was immediately onboard.

Michael Hartley

I was very grateful to have the opportunity to take on the role of a co-opted Governor at Drayton Primary.  My eldest son currently attends and my youngest will hopefully join in a couple of years.  I am very keen to help support and ensure that the School continues to be successful for both children and staff and support doing so in any way that I can within my role.  My background is within Technology, specifically inside the Education sector, working with schools and academy Trusts, in particular around areas such as safeguarding, GDPR, project management and strategic planning, development and delivery.  I also have a background in Spanish (academic and family) and am excited by the positive impact of MFL at Drayton.

Parent Governors

 

Vice Chair

Current Vacancy

 

 

Rob Gilley
Teaching and Learning Lead

School Development Plan - Staff Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

 

I am one of the parent governors, am part of the finance and resource committee and have a role as link governor for PE. I have worked for South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust for the last 20 years, currently employed as a Clinical Team Educator. I wanted to become a governor in order to offer my support and skills to the school as I believe we have a vital role to play in ensuring its continued success and development. Working alongside the teaching staff gives a true insight into the day to day running of the school, allowing governors to oversee its management, securing the best education and experiences for all our children.

Lucy Cunningham

Safeguarding

Looked After Child (LAC) Governor Lead

 

Everyone benefits from a successful school - children, teachers and parents. When the school was looking for a new governor with skills that I had gained in the workplace, I volunteered my time so that I could play a part in keeping the school running as well as it possibly can, for the benefit of the whole school community.

I moved to the village in 2014 and have two children at the school.

I became a parent governor as both of our sons have loved their time at Drayton, and I wanted to help the school continue to be a place where children can be happy and fulfilled.

Staff Governors

 

Chloe Spencer - Interim Head Teacher

I am the staff governor at Drayton Community Primary School. Within school I teach Robins Class, I am the assistant head and EYFS lead. I initially took up the position as staff governor as I wanted to continue my knowledge of strategic planning and assessment and expectations for Key Stage 2. I have taught EYFS and KS1 so felt it was important to develop my knowledge across the whole primary phase.  It is essential that staff’s views and opinions are shared with the governing body and I feel that I am able to provide the governors, alongside Mr Knight, an insight into how a school runs and put scenarios into context for governors who may not have practical experience of working in a school.  The governors hold a unique position to support the future of the community with their role as a critical friend.
