Richard Scott

My name is Richard Scott, and I am excited to join the governing body at school. I'm looking forward to working with staff in the continued development of our children's lives. As a dad of three boys who attend Frodsham Primary Academy, I am passionate about creating opportunity for children in the area to receive excellent educational, pastoral and wrap around care. I hope to make sure school life gives them great memories, long lasting friendships, and the best chance of success as an adult. My background is in catering in which I have worked for many years, most recently specialising in school catering.Outside of work I enjoy motorsports and gardening including growing our own produce.

Sam Warbuton

I have been a secondary school teacher working in large 11-18 high schools for 28 years. I started my career in Merseyside as an NQT, moving to Lancashire to work as Head of Biology and Faculty Leader in Science, and then was internally promoted to pastoral Assistant Headteacher. After 15 years in Lancashire, I moved to Cheshire West and Chester and have, for the last 8 years, worked at Helsby High School as Deputy Headteacher. My close links with Frodsham Primary Academy have been relatively recent; I joined the Governing Body of Frodsham Weaver Vale about 6 months before it's academy conversion. I was pleased to be able to continue to support the school as a member of the Local Governing Committee of the new school from the outset. I bring the experience of being on the Governing Body of two other schools prior to Frodsham Primary Academy. I'm interested in all elements of governance at a local level, but have a particular interest in the support for children with SEND.
