I have been the chair of governors at Rhyl Primary School for a number of years and have seen it grow from strength to strength.

All the members of the Rhyl Governing Body are dedicated to improving and building upon the excellent learning and teaching within the school. We do this by supporting and challenging the senior leadership team and staff. The Governing Body meet every term to formulate the strategic planning, budgets and to overview the implementation of school policies. We have a number of committees, each chaired by a governor which report regularly to the full Governing Body. By meeting and talking to the children and staff we are able to monitor progress and to support the staff in maintaining the high standards of excellence the school is achieving.

Many of the governors help in other ways too, such as helping to establish our exciting Raising Aspirations programme for Year 5 to broaden our children’s horizons about the careers they might pursue; improving the buildings and learning environment; working with our parents and carers to support their children’s well being and learning with reading, maths and science. Our on goingbig project is to raise funding for a community kitchen following the visit we hosted for Jamie Oliver in 2016.

Rhyl governors are always impressed with the politeness and good behaviour of the children, their willingness to learn and to help others to learn and also the enthusiasm of our families to support their children to be the very best they can be in life.

As a parent governor, with over 20 years’ experience in working with children and families in a range of settings, I wish to be able to aid Rhyl in a way that is supportive yet challenging. To be part of a school that offers all pupils multiple opportunities in acquiring skills that they both deserve and need, to progress educationally and flourish personally is exciting and rewarding. Being the link governor for Raising Aspirations and Expressive Arts, as well as PE, I can see the growth and huge benefits of teaching and learning holistically, enabling children to become well-rounded citizens in both their own, and the wider community. The school continues to develop, move with the times and progress, and with such a wealth of knowledge between staff, parents and governors, as well as an exceptional cohort of children, it can only continue to do so.

I look forward to working with the school, parents and the community in reaching this goal

I have lived in the local community over the past 10 years and have been lucky enough to be a governor at Fleet, Carlton and now Rhyl Primary Schools over that period, with a focus on Safeguarding, Enterprise and the Building Brighter Futures curriculum. As such important anchors in our communities I’m delighted to play a role in guiding and supporting the School through an exciting time in its history

I’m Hussein and since 2000, I have worked in the City at a variety of financial institutions. Currently I work at a small investment firm based in Mayfair. My primary reason for joining Rhyl as a governor is to be part of an institution that stimulates, teaches and prepares youngsters for life. I also hope to help Rhyl maintain its high standards and even raise them. You can find out my favourite children’s book by clicking here.

I was thrilled to be accepted as a Co-Opted governor at Rhyl Primary School in June 2015. I have in the past lived and worked in Camden and am very familiar with the borough and its community. With over 20 years’ experience of teacher education I feel I can make a valuable contribution to the management and ongoing success of this wonderful school.

I have lived in Camden for over 15 years, and I have always believed that it is important to support your local community. I used to be the local councillor for the area, but now I am no longer on the council, being a governor is another way to give something back. I am passionate about education, having advised governments here and abroad on schools’ policy. I am particularly interested in how we help all children to achieve, whatever their background. Rhyl serves an incredibly diverse community – and I am proud of our high aspirations for every child.

I’m Duncan and I’ve been a governor at Rhyl since the start of 2013. I live locally and it has been a fascinating experience seeing how a well-run governing body contributes to so many aspects of school and community life. I run a software company and help at Rhyl by teaching maths to gifted pupils.
