Old Park Primary School and Nursery

Since being elected as Parent Governor in 2017 I have thoroughly enjoyed being involved in School Life.

Seeing the students strive academically and their enthusiasm and pride in their achievements for example in Sport, Art and Music is delightful, one of the highlights being the learning walks we complete with our Local Authority Education Advisor, who too sees the enthusiasm of not only our students, but staff too.

Attending various training courses I have developed my skills and knowledge to enable me to deliver the best support I can in my governing role whilst also enhancing my understanding of the running of the school as a whole.

I have brought my professional knowledge and experience to develop an on-going relationship with Age UK and accessing new experiences for students with the older generation with a particular focus on students becoming 'Dementia Friends'

The students are a credit to the school and the hard work of the staff and senior leadership team is reflected in them. Knowing the challenges faced by tight budgets and strict educational guidelines I feel this is even more prevalent as it proves to me that the school truly are focusing on bringing out the best in individuals and offering them the best possible start to their education.
The success of the school is vital for the area, the continual improvement of the school is vital for current and future students. I am proud to say I am part of Old Park Primary School, reaching for success.
