Governor at the Bollin Primary School

Withington's Head of Sixth Form, and a Classics teacher has been on the board of governors for Bollin Primary School, a maintained primary school, since 2020.

Background

The partnership has arisen as our staff member has two children at the school. She has been a governor since February 2020.

Impact

There are 420 pupils at The Bollin, all of whom benefit from her input in the school’s governance. 

In her contributions to the governing body, our staff member helps ensure high standards of achievement for all pupils at the school. This is done by assisting in the setting of the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction and by monitoring the academic achievement of pupils. She is the governor in charge of well-being and safeguarding.

She also runs Classics workshops for the pupils, encouraging an interest in a subject they may have no experience of.
