A little bit about our Governors...
Mrs C. Hillier - EYRC Co-opted Governor (Chair)
My husband and I have lived in Little Weighton for twenty years. We have a son, daughter and four grandsons. I became interested in becoming a governor when I retired from my post as a manager in Adult Education. I wanted to do some voluntary work and hoped that my qualifications and experience in teaching and educational management could be useful. I am particularly interested in language and literacy and enjoy listening to the children read on Tuesday afternoons.
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 H. Butler - Parent Governor
I have lived in Little Weighton with my family now for 6 years and have two children that attend the school. I became interested in becoming a parent Governor after hearing about how the Governor role can support the School. I am really passionate about the school and sustaining the School for the Village, as I feel it is such an important part of the Village. My two children are really happy at the School and I want to continue to support the school and this role I feel enables me to do this bringing the skills and knowledge I have from my own working life and personal village life to the school.
Mr M. Cross - Foundation Governor
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 work as the financial administrator for a charity in Hull. I have lifelong knowledge of the local community and have the skills to help the school in its administration.
Mr J. Higgins - EYRC Co-opted Governor
Growing up in Bransholme, yet becoming a graduate engineer I understand how important the early years of school can be to the overall future of a child. Enthusiasm and abilities of all staff can make all the difference. As a father I wanted to play a part in the strategic leadership of the school to ensure all children reach their full potential before moving onto high school. Working as a Sales Manager for a major world wide company, I hope the skills I have developed in facts and figures will be a benefit to school.
Revd. D Messer - Foundation Governor
Mr C Pickering - Parent Governor
Working for Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, I have had the ability to interact with many different schools and school children. Witnessing the importance of the different levels of guidance and support that is vitally important to help the children thrive and develop not only as they continue their academic education but also for their social and moral educational needs.
Living within the village and having two children that currently attend the school, my wife and I have seen the passion and drive that the teachers have at this school. So when a vacancy came up for a parent governor, I put myself forward offering my support, personal skills and knowledge in the hope that I can help keep this important community asset going for many more years to come.
