Jennifer HeyesCo-opted Governor |
Having previously volunteered at Sherdley in 2013 & 2014 whilst completing my Level 2 & Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualifications, I am now proud to say that I am now an LSA at Sherdley Primary and have been since March 2022. My 2 children attend Sherdley and both absolutely love it. I have been a governor at Sherdley since January 2019 and I am proud to be part of such a great team of governors, who are as passionate as I am at succeeding and delivering the best for our pupils. I have loved being involved in making exciting decisions for our school and seeing the benefits that it has created, e.g. our new catering food ordering service. At home, I am a wife, a dance Mum and a rugby Mum! I adore cheese (mainly cheese from France), I love baking, spending time with all my family and most of all, I love weekends! |

With a background in child safeguarding, I believe that schools also play a very important and vital role in the support of children and their families. I am keen to help the team to continue to improve the opportunities for each unique child to develop and thrive at Sherdley Primary. |
Sarah GarnettParent Governor |
I am a mum of 3, of which attend Sherdley and they all love it! I am so proud to be part of a team of amazing 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 continue to provide the most amazing experience for all our children. |

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 a 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. |
Tony McCoyHeadteacher |
I am an experienced Headteacher who always puts children first and am proud to be leading Sherdley. I am passionate about making a difference and preparing children for the future. In our school, we aim to fully support children to become well-rounded individuals, ready to take up new challenges. My four children are all grown up and my wife and I are now enjoying our 10 grandchildren! I love cycling, swimming, playing golf and following the 'exploits' of Everton Football Club. |
Sara Harrop Co-opted Governor |
I am proud to be a co-opted Governor at Sherdley Primary School and be a part of a proactive team who strive for the best experience and support for our pupils. I am a parent to two current students of the school with my youngest due to start next year, but who has already been welcomed into the Sherdley family! I hope my experience and background in Law will bring useful skills to challenge and support the leadership of the school at a strategic level. |
