Meet Our Governors

am the Exectutive Headteacher of Godfrey Ermen and another primary school in Salford, St Philip's. I started my
teaching career at St Philips and have worked in Salford for 23 years. I have taught in church and community schools during this time - from very small schools to 2-form entry primary schools like Godfrey Ermen. I have taken on the role of Deputy Headteacher in 2 schools adn have been the substantive Headteacher of St Philip's CE since September 2017.

I started my role of Exectuve Headteacher at Godfrey Ermen in February 2022 and am looking forward to working with the staff team, the children and their families as well as with the Governors.

I share the ethos and values of Godfrey Ermen and am keen to bring my experiences to the leadership and governance of our school.

I am the local authority representee on the governors, I have served over 10 years and it has ben an honour and a privilege to do so. I have been an elected councillor for 17 years representing Barton ward and after the recent changes, Barton and Winton Ward. I hope that I can continue to help the school by the challenge to ourselves and the education teams to get the very best for our children. I myself am degree educated in computer science and I hope that where I can, use that skill to assist the children and the school.

I wanted to serve as a school governor as I believe we should all strive to raise aspirations and by doing so watch the children bloom and be all they can be.

I work closely with the other governors and as a team I can assure you we all have the singular mission of providing the best education we can give.

This year I also have the honour of being Salford’s ceremonial mayor, I hope you will follow my FaceBook blog as meet some of Salford’s amazing children and volunteers.

I am the Incumbent of St Michael & All Angels Church, Eccles and St Mary Magdalene's Church, Winton as we work in a Mission Partnership.  I have been a Governor since 2014 and my particular interest is in the spiritual development of the children, as well as the Religious Education that is on offer at the school.
