LINCOLN GARDENS - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Staff Governor
- Staff Governor / None
I joined Lincoln Gardens as PE Lead in April 2018. I have previously taught in several Primary and secondary schools.
An opportunity arose to join the Governing body at Lincoln Gardens, and I decided to apply for the position so that I could get a different perspective on how a school is run. I am keen to help to take the school forward and support the children, staff, parents and carers in any way that I can.
Job Titles:
- Vice Chair
- Vice Chair of Governors / None
My name is Charlie Lowe and I am your SEN Governor and Vice Chair of Governors.
I joined the Governing body prior to the last Ofsted inspection. With a background in retail management, teaching and business I felt that I had a number of skills and a wealth of knowledge to contribute to the Governing Body at Lincoln Gardens. Shortly after joining the governing body, I took on the role of vice chair and later co-chair for a while. I have been privileged to watch the school develop its leadership team and am proud of what the whole staff team and the pupils of Lincoln Gardens have achieved over the last 4/5 years. The school were praised for the way they embraced online learning in the recent Covid 19 pandemic, and this was no surprise to me, as the team have always sought to be child centred. Lincoln Gardens are often trail blazers and ahead of the curve when it comes to new initiatives and new requirements.
I have worked in Further Education for over 17 years, I felt the time was right to push myself out of familiar territory and utilise my experience in a way to support others in a governance role.
I am passionate about education; I have a BA (Hons) Business Degree and I know that anyone can be successful with the right driving force behind them.
Job Titles:
- Chairman
- Co - Opted Governor
I have worked in the sports industry for 19 years, and am currently supporting organisations with their governance structures, and organisational health. I have been involved in number of voluntary board positions within sport, including here in Scunthorpe, at Scunthorpe Rugby Club.
I have 2 young children, with one attending Lincoln Gardens, and I wanted to get involved and share my skills at a school that I am involved in as a parent.
Education is an area that I haven't been involved in, in a professional capacity before, but seized the opportunity to become a Governor at Lincoln Gardens. I'm learning all the time, and to be able to bring my skills from another sector into the school environment is really exciting.
I would push anybody who is interested in supporting Lincoln Gardens to Learn, Grow, Participate & Succeed to get involved as a Governor, we want people from all backgrounds and skills to get on board with us, as we want a wide and diverse set of opinions and thoughts to challenge us, to be the best school we can be for our children and community.

Having taught English and History in Scunthorpe secondary schools and colleges I was keen to be involved with the primary sector when I retired. I was lucky enough to be appointed as LA governor at Lincoln Gardens, close to where I live. It has been fascinating to see the school develop, providing a good education for children of all abilities. Every child deserves the best start in life. Lincoln Gardens School community works hard to achieve this.
