Sam O'Brien - Head teacher Pauline Painter - Clerk to the Governing Body I became Clerk of the Governors at Riccall in 2006, having had 12 years experience before that as a governor of a primary school in York. I have three school age children and live in York. Peter Northrop - Parent Governor I have been a parent governor for quite a few years . I am married and we have lived in Riccall . I worked as a social worker with Children and Families for twenty years before moving into training and now I work in staff development I feel that is it important to be part of my son’s school life, and being a governor helps me to understand school’s today. Paul Brough Jones - ChairmanA father of two, Milly and Jacob lived in the village for 12 years. I work as an education consultant, having previously spent 10 years as a Primary School Deputy Headteacher. I 'took office' as Chair of Governors in November 2006, and look forward to being associated with the school for many years to come. Manju Barker - LA Governor ![]() My name is Manju Barker. I became an LA governor last year for the school and am looking forward to another busy year in helping the school in acheiving its aims together with the rest of the governing body and headteacher.I am married with a young son who attends this lovely school. I have had a varied career in the Civil Service, although trained as a surveyor I am now manager of the Human Resource Department. I hope my skills and experience will come in handy in my duties to serve the school. Peter Harrington - co-optedI have been a Riccall resident for 11 years, I'm married to Wendy and have two children at the school. I am delighted to be part of the governing body. Professionally, 20 years has passed creating and growing businesses in research, marketing, printing and educational software – somewhat weird since I’m convinced the 21st birthday landmark has only just been overhauled. Love spending time in the hills, but have to confess to long-term affair with food and cooking.
Grace Curtis - Teacher governorI teach year 3/4. I am a new teacher in Riccall and have moved to the area from Newcastle where I trained to be a teacher. I enjoy playing netball and cycling, reading and playing the piano. This year I will be coaching our netball team and helping to run the recorder club. |
