A teacher by profession, I am currently an Assistant Head Teacher of a very good secondary School, as recently confirmed by OFSTED.In my brief time as Parent Governor I have seen tangible evidence which demonstrates that Court Lane Infant School is very progressive school and is a highly effective change agent in adding value to children's education. We continue to sustain the excellent education received for the benefit of our children. I work with a committed team of governors who share the same desires as the parents of students at the school - high quality education in academics and social responsibility, carried out in a safe environment.
