Marlborough Primary Academy Local Governing Board

 

Welcome from the Chair

Welcome, as Chair of Governors I have great pleasure in telling you a little about Marlborough Primary.  Marlborough is situated in the heart of the Devonport community with strong links to the UTC and other Secondary schools in the area.  This enables the school to support your son or daughter to make decisions about their future school and career paths.  The curriculum focuses on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) as well as other critical subjects to support our children's development and learning. 

What we do:

Marlborough governors provide support and advice to the Senior Leadership Teams as well as monitoring the school's achievements and challenging decisions.

We provide:

* Overview and scrutiny of the management of the academy:

*Policy development for the academy where this has been delegated to us from the Trust; scrutiny of policy compliance by the academy where policy is set by the Trustees;

* Championship of the academy and its leaders;

* Engagement with the parents of pupils and the wider community.

 

We do this by:

* Holding 3 meetings per year to discuss the school, their achievements and areas of need, the policies and

* Visiting the school and observing lessons and the school in action.

* Talking to the pupils, parents, and staff to find out their views.

* Attending training to extend our skills and knowledge.

    I do enjoy being outside and dabble a lot with the garden and I volunteer at Marlborough Street Primary school and help with keeping the grounds tidy. I enjoy swimming and kayaking and the odd game of golf. I recently completed a Swimming Pool Lifeguard qualification.

    I hope to bring my life skills to be Governor, I have the school at heart as my volunteering has made a small difference. I have a common sense approach to problems and hope my life experiences will be an asset. This will be a new challenge for me always with the school at heart.

I have worked locally as an Engineering Manager for the last 18 years, have a military background and have been involved in school governance for 30 years, starting as a primary school Parent Governor for my children (the youngest now is 27!).

This extends to being a critical friend to the management team and ensuring safeguarding and the welfare of the staff are looked after.

    Responsibility : Behaviour and Attitudes and Personal Development
    Attendance 2022-23: 2/2
    Registered Interests: Spouse is an employee at Marlborough Primary

    I was born in Freedom Fields, Plymouth in 1982. At turning 16 I got my first job in my local Plymco and Normans – now known as a Co-op supermarket. I have now worked for the Co-op for a total of 23 years, with 13 years as a store manager in multiple stores located around the city of Plymouth. My position as store manager has allowed me to interact and support multiple charities across the city. In 2018, I was offered the opportunity to complete a Degree Apprenticeship with the Co-op. In October 2021 I gained an honours degree in Management and Leadership as well as obtaining my chartered management status. In 2021, I started a secondment in another area of the business and have spent the last 12 months working within Supply Chain, as a Portfolio Analyst. A summary of this role was to make informed decisions by the analysis and interpretation of data. It was my job to support the majority of Co-ops located in tourist locations across Cornwall and Devon.

    In my personal life, I have been married for over 12 years and I have two children. My hobbies include spending quality time with my family, exploring outdoor areas, visiting national trust areas and a keen interest in technology. I hope all my past experiences and skillset will add value to my position of governor.
