Governors

Hi, My name is Ivyanne and I am a parent Governor at Park Primary. I started my role October 2019, when my child started school at Park Primary. I have really enjoyed getting to work alongside the staff to ensure we are delivering the best for all our children. I am a friendly and outgoing person with 3 children of my own.

My experiences outside of school have led me to a passion for SEN and in order to utilise this strength I am currently the governor for Special Educational Needs.  I like my role as a governor as It enables me to see the school from a different view point which I find really interesting. I am also on the Maths team which I find incredibly exciting and talking to the children about their learning is fascinating.

I hope to continue serving as a governor at Park as I am excited to see where our journey will take us.

Hi, my name is Stuart and I am a parent governor here at Park Primary School. My child started at Park Primary in 2019 but I did not become a parent governor until 2021. My reason for wanting to support the school from this position is that I am passionate about all children getting a good education in an environment that supports and promotes their individuality.

Working with young children has always been a privilege for me . Having recently retired, after more than twenty years as a primary teacher, including 14 years as a senior manager, I am excited to be part of the governing body at Park Primary. 

I believe every child deserves, every chance, every day and am passionate about making sure learning is stimulating, supportive and challenging.  I am determined to use my experience to support the school on what I know is going to be an extremely exciting journey. 

My name is Sam Pritchard and I am currently a Year 4 teacher. During my teaching career, I have taught across all of the Key Stages, including Foundation 2, Years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. As well as this, I have three years’ experience as a Teaching Assistant. All of this I feel has given me a good, solid and broad understanding of the curriculum and how it is best implemented across the majority of a primary school to get the best out of our pupils. I also love getting involved in many afterschool clubs, residentials and other extra-curricular events, as it allows the children to broaden both their experiences and confidence in themselves. As a governor, I feel privileged to be part of a forward looking and dynamic team, who are dedicated to making Park Primary an outstanding model of what a primary school can be.

Hi, my name is Donna Riley and I was lucky enough to start working at Park Primary in September 2022. I currently work as the Deputy Head and SENDCo. I often cover classes so I get to teach all the children across the school.

I love working at Park Primary and I feel like part of the family even in this short time. I am very passionate about ensuring the children receive the educational journey each one of them deserves.

In my spare time I like to run and try to get out at least 3 times a week with my local running club.

I believe, that in my role at Park, I can help make a difference to all our wonderful children.
