Governance Statement 2019 – 2020

Appointed 01/01/2015

Why I became involved as a governor of Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre:

I have lived and brought up my family in this community since 1967. I have also been involved in various community activities and been a Councillor for this area. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity of being part of the planning process before the school was built. I remember when the site was fields with animals on and blackberry bushes. Kincraig Road was not a through road in those days. I watched this school being built and have been involved in one way or another since then. It has always been a pleasure working with school and watching it develop over the years and seen how things have improved to ensure the children receive a first class education. I am very proud of my involvement with Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre.

Appointed 01/01/2015

Why I became involved as a governor of Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre:

All my three children have been to Kincraig Primary School. My first child attended when Kincraig first opened. I became involved as a governor a few years ago as my youngest son was leaving Kincraig, to give something back for all the school have done for my children over the last 17 years. I love coming into school and seeing the fantastic work that goes on to make sure the children are getting the best education and the work it does within the community. The school has gone from strength to strength.

Why I became involved as a governor of Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre:

I wanted to be involved in the way our schools are managed and run, with a particular emphasis on the well-being of pupils and staff, as well as wanting to be of service to the local community at large. I was appointed to be a governor at Kincraig from its outset, when the school was being planned and built. As a governor I have had the satisfaction of seeing the school going from strength to strength, developing over the years thus giving the governors great satisfaction on being involved in the process.

Why I became involved as a governor of Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre:

My daughter joined the school in 2013 and I can see the drive and determination for each and every child to enjoy and succeed in their education as individuals and as a school. In July 2015 I decided to join the team as a Co Opted Governor, to give something back and help the school continue to be the best it can.

Appointed 01/01/2015

Why I became involved as a governor of Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre:

Having been involved with the local community for many years as the councillor for the Ingthorpe ward, it was a natural decision that I became involved with the local primary school. Kincraig is at the heart of my community and works alongside many of my families and constituents and being part of the governing body, I feel that I can give something back to the local community and support the children and parents within it.

Appointed 15/02/2015

Why I became involved as a governor of Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre:

Kincraig has been a large part of my life for the past eight years when my first child attended groups in the Children’s Centre and now having three children currently at Kincraig School, I have an invested interest in the progress and future of the school. I have an informed view in perspective of both children and parents and am committed to seeing continued developments allowing children to grow and move forward.

Appointed 28/01/19

Why I became involved as a governor of Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre:

I have worked at Kincraig Primary School for the past eight years, so when I became the staff governor I was very excited to join the team. As a governor, I want to be part of the team that makes changes, to allow our school to develop and continue to support the children of Kincraig. During my time at Kincraig, I have always supported the school in events, both in school time and out of school hours, and becoming staff governor allows me to dedicate more of my time to helping the school become the best it can be.

Appointed 28/01/19

Why I became involved as a governor of Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre:

As a parent with 2 young daughters at Kincraig I have a vested interest in the performance of the school. And, given that my children speak so enthusiastically about the time they spend at Kincraig and the people who work there, I knew I had to get involved.

Appointed 28/01/19

Why I became involved as a governor of Kincraig Primary School and Children’s Centre:

Kincraig Primary has been a part of my life for some years now. My younger siblings attended when the school first opened and my mum also worked here before retirement, having various roles within the school. I have watched the school build from strength to strength over the years and it amazes me at just how far it has come. I now have 2 children of my own who currently attend and they just love their time at school. I was honoured to become a School Governor as it gives me the opportunity to give something back to the heart of the community and to be part of a team that can help further grow and develop the school for our children’s future.
