The Governing Body of Sherdley Primary School
| Profile Image | Governor | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Kevin Harker - Chair of Governors - Co-opted Governor | I am Vice Principal of The Sutton Academy and a proud member of the governing body of Sherdley Primary. I believe in the importance of education and the impact it has on children's life chances. I have the highest expectations for all in everything that we do to ensure a calm, meaningful and happy environment for students and staff to thrive in. |
 | Cathey Briars - Vice Chair of Governors - Co-opted Governor | As a co-opted governor, I am keen to ensure that the voice, aspirations and priorities of the parents of Sherdley pupils are a key part of school decision making at the most strategic level. My background as a teacher, and subsequent career supporting and writing about parental mental health are probably why I was elected to the role - but far more useful are the experiences I live every day raising two inquisitive, exhausting and terrifyingly unpredictable children! |
 | Kirsty Farrelly - Parent Governor | As a mum of four young children I am passionate about helping to ensure our school provides the best environment to allow all children to fulfil their potential within a supportive and nurturing setting. Professionally I am a Chartered Accountant and enjoy running my own business. This affords me the flexibility to work around our busy family life but essentially provides the opportunity to become fully involved in school life. I am delighted to take on the role of Governors and enjoy being a member of the Governing Body. I look forward to continuing to work with all members of the Sherdley community to help to provide the best whole school experience for the pupils of Sherdley. |
 | Laura Page - Co-opted Governor | Being a teacher at Sherdley, I spend a lot of my time in school with the children and staff and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love teaching our amazing children and working alongside my amazing colleagues. I am dedicated to raising the progress of our children as well as making sure they are cared for, safe and are having fun. I want to support the school’s development and I want to see it succeed. It is important to me that the school does well and I am committed to helping the school reach its goals. |
 | Alison May - Co-opted Governor | I am delighted to have the opportunity to become a Governor at Sherdley Primary School. I live in Great Sankey in Warrington, I and am mum of one and work in HR in the food manufacturing industry.
I am passionate about people achieving their potential through opportunity and encouragement and believe that schools have a crucial role in helping children shape their aspirations and encouraging them to believe in themselves to be able to achieve them. |
 | Jennifer Heyes - Parent Governor | Having previously volunteered at Sherdley whilst completing my Level 2 & Level 3 Teaching Assistant Qualifications, I am now a mum of two! My eldest attends Sherdley and absolutely loves it. My youngest is due to start very soon.

I am keen to help the team continue improving the opportunities for each unique child to develop and thrive at Sherdley Primary. |

I am so proud to be part of an amazing team of governors who are just as keen as I am to provide the best environment for our children.
Professionally I work in child social care and I love running my own party business. In my free time we spend it as a family, going for walks, bike rides and visiting the caravan.
I am really looking forward to being able to contribute to the team and helping Sherdley to continue to provide the most amazing experience for all our children. |
 | Karen Tilley - Co-opted Governor | As an ex-student whose two children also attended Sherdley, I am passionate about seeing it continue developing into an outstanding school. As a Governor and staff member I want to make sure Sherdley continues to give its students a great foundation so they can be the best they can be. |
