Having taught at Ightenhill, formerly Lionel Street School, for 38 years I was delighted to be asked to become a school-governor after retirement.
I feel that I have a good knowledge of the school, its staff and pupils and wanted to continue my involvement and support in a role other than as a teacher. I try to attend all meetings and have particularly enjoyed coming into school to observe areas of curriculum work during governor 'walk-rounds'.
The headteacher and staff work hard to give all pupils a chance to achieve their very best and as a governor, I am happy to support and encourage everyone at Ightenhill Primary School.

I am a Solicitor by profession and have been a Governor at Ightenhill School for over 25 years. I started as a parent governor as my two sons attended the school at the time. My wife also taught at the school for many years.
Prior to becoming a Governor, I had previously been involved with the Home School Association that I chaired for a while and already obtained some background knowledge of the School. I thought that I may be able to contribute something useful that might be of benefit to the School by becoming a Governor.
I am now designated as a Community Governor and for a number of years have acted as the Chair of the Curriculum Committee and take a particular interest in matters relating to the curriculum aspects of the School Development Plan.
Job Titles:
- Member of the Senior Leadership Team
- Headteacher
I have been a teacher in the North West of England since 1992 working in Bolton, Manchester, Accrington, Bury and Burnley.
Ightenhill is my third Headship and I joined the school in January 2021 during a period of uncertainty caused by a global pandemic. I aim to lead the school sensitively and optimistically forward as we start to face the future together.
I am passionate about value led school communities and this will be at the centre of my leadership at Ightenhill. I believe that our core purpose is to enable all of our students, regardless of background, to have the opportunity to succeed in school and with the key skills and mindset to achieve their potential in life.

I first became a staff governor at Ightenhill Primary School where I had been employed as the Schools Inclusion Manager and Designated Safeguarding Lead since 2011. Over the years, I have built strong relationships with the children and families of Ightenhill, along with staff and governors, and have a good working knowledge of the wider aims and ambitions of the school. My passion has always been to ensure all children feel included, safe, able to learn and to become the best version of themselves.
I left Ightenhill in February 2022 to take up a senior safeguarding role within Lancashire County Council but remained on the governing body, as a co-opted governor with responsibility for safeguarding as I wished to still be part of Ightenhill's future.
It is with great pleasure that I now take on the role of Chair of Governors, as of November 2022. In this position, I will offer support, guidance and challenge where necessary, ensuring children continue to leave Ightenhill with a pride in what they have achieved and a sense of aspiration for the future.
