Hello Parents and Carers,
I have been a school governor at St Peter's for many years and became Chair of Governor a few years ago.
I enjoy being involved in the school and visit regularly to participate in whole school worship as well as going along to help on some of the school trips and getting involved with some activities, such as music. The children also spot me regularly when they come across to church for the Wednesday morning services. It is great when they spot me out and about in town or the shops and come to say hello! One or two even found me whilst I was volunteering in the vaccination centre!
I want our school to offer the best opportunities to every child and work hard with the staff and the governor team to try and achieve this in a happy and friendly environment.
When not at school, I am heavily involved in Girlguiding and run 2 Brownie units in Burnley, I sing with 3 choirs - at St Peter's Church, Contempo Choir and Lancashire East Guide Choir. I am a season ticket holder at Burnley Football Club!
Kind regards,
Carol
