Mrs Jan Mitchell (Local Authority): Curriculum & Standards Governor.

Jan is our  Chair of Governors and she is the Chair of the Finance Committee.

I joined the Governing Body in September 2016. I believe that every child should receive the best possible education and it was a privilege to be invited to join the Governors of this friendly and welcoming school. I have lived in Gosberton Risegate since 2007. Previously I was employed as a manager by a firm of chartered accountants in their tax department.

I am the Local Authority Governor and sit on and Chair the Resources sub-committee. I also help in other areas of school life, holding responsibility for Maths, History and Geography. I can be contacted via the school office.   

Mrs Ruth Hollings: Food Standards, Curriculum Support, RE/RSE Governor.

When my grandchildren were at the Clough School my daughter was a Parent Governor and it was through her that I helped with the reading scheme. When I retired from teaching I became Governor and have now been involved with the school for many years.

I sit on the Standards Committee and have responsibility for overseeing Food Standards, DT and Farm to Fork.

I enjoy helping in all areas of school life as I find the children and staff very friendly and welcoming. I can be contacted via the school Office.

Ms Paula Matier-Dean: Safeguarding Governor including SCR & Online, Attendance, Behaviour & Mental Health Governor.

I work for the NHS. I have been part of the governing body since 2014. Both of my children attended the Clough and Risegate school, they really enjoyed being part of the school family and learning in such a wonderful environment.

I sit on the Standards Committee and am responsible for monitoring safeguarding, attendance and behaviour.

If you would like to contact me you can do so via the school, I am happy to chat or assist parents wherever possible.

Mr David Dickinson: Health & Safety, Pupil Premium Governor.

David sits on the FGB and Finance Committee.

I have lived in the village all of my life, working on our family farm for the last forty-five years.  I attended the Clough and Risegate Primary School in the early 1960’s and have watched the many changes that have taken place since then.  Having been involved in village life for many years through the Young Farmers Club and the Church, I look forward to this new challenge of being a Governor, with the responsibilities and opportunities it presents.

I have responsibility for Pupil Premium, Health & Safety, PE/SPG and sit on the Resources sub-committee.

I can always be contacted through the school.

Ms Dee Williamson is the school's Staff Governor.

I am new to the role of Staff Governor but look forward to taking on this new role and opportunity to continue to support our small school in other ways. I find the workings of the school very interesting and  I am here to act as a representative of the staff but also to help the Governors with their roles and responsibilities.
