Little Weighton Rowley C of E Primary

A little bit about our Governors...

Mr M. Cross - Foundation Governor (Chair)

I'm a Foundation Governor for the Church of England on the governing body, being Churchwarden at St Peter's Rowley our Parish Church. I have worked in financial administration and in a Government Inspectorate role, giving me skills in monitoring and evaluation. I have a lifelong knowledge of the local community and regularly go in to school as part of the Open The Book team.

Miss J. Tharratt - EYRC Co-opted Governor (Vice Chair)

I am a coopted governor who has had thirty years experience in early years. I have worked for the private sector and the local authority, including five years working in the foundation unit at this school. I have three children and have recently become a grandparent. I also live in a village and think it is very important that we keep our village schools. I believe in the value of local community and think this school forms an integral part of this. I am a relatively new governor and I am looking forward to my new role and using my skills and knowledge that I have acquired over the years to help to support this school.

Mrs J Barton - EYRC Local Authority Governor

I am a Licenced Lay Minister and have a degree in Theology.  I have three adult sons and four grandchildren in education.  My association with the school began with ‘Open the Book,’ Bible storytelling.’  I co-ordinate the team of storytellers who have been coming to the school since 2018, which supports the Christian foundations of the school.   It is such a delight coming into this welcoming school, to witness the dedication, drive, and energy of the teachers, alongside happy, curious, well-balanced children. 

Mr J Roger - Parent Governor

Revd. Dr. Tim Kelly - Foundation Governor 

Mr M Wright - Parent Governor

As a parent governor, I wish to support the school in providing a safe, inclusive and rewarding environment for all children. With a background in strategy, governance and fundraising, I can bring useful skills to the role. Most importantly, I'm passionate about making sure every child, including those with additional needs, gets the best possible support.
