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.

Paul Brough JonesPaul Brough Jones - Chairman

A father of two, Milly (Year 5)  and Jacob(Year 2), I have lived in the village for 16 years. Having previously spent 10 years as a Primary School Deputy Headteacher I now work as a Learning and Teaching Director with a software company. I 'took office' as Chair of Governors in November 2006.


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-opted

I 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.
