Deborah Andrew.

I have a son in Year 2 at our school. I work part time as a nurse and regularly help out in the classroom. If I were elected to be a parent governor I would represent the children and parents of the school, using my parent helper insight, where appropriate.

Darren Farmer

I am 45 years old, currently employed as a project director. I have 27 years experience in problem solving, dealing with innumerable bodies, government and private organisations, and believe my management skills in dealing with such a diverse group of people and organisations would be an asset to the school.

My daughter’s just starting out …and, as a teacher, myself, I am committed to creating a positive learning influence in our children's education. I look forward to wholeheartedly assisting with the challenges our School faces to maintain excellent standards. I passionately believe in our School Community and our children’s futures.

I have three children at C of E and have six years experience of helping at the school and talking to parents and teachers. I would like to become a governor to use this experience to enhance the performance of the school and the communication between the school and parents.
