Rachel Wilkes I Am a Parent Governor Rachel Wilkes I am a parent governor and have recently joined the Governing Body. I am the Headteacher of Clifton Primary School in Hull and have been involved in education for the past 13 years. I also work as a moderator for the local authority and support a range of schools in Hull with their school improvement work. I believe that all children are capable of great things and that the role of a school is to remove barriers to learning for all children and to inspire them to become life-long learners. I am also a member of the Governing Body of Clifton Primary School, Broadacre Primary School and the Hull SCITT. Term of office ends May 2020 No business interests Roles & Responsibilities:- Curriculum, Pupil Progress & Inclusion Committee, Pupil Premium and Progress Governor Heather Gibson I have 3 children, all boys, one in Year 7 at Beverley Grammar School, one in Year 5 at Minster School and I am currently a stay at home mum looking after a very lively 18 month old. I became a parent governor at Minster School 2 years ago because I wanted to help make a difference at the school and to be able to put the parents point of view across. As a qualified nursery nurse (NNEB) I have experience working in early years, both in nursery and foundation stage, and have a particular interest in this area as well as experience of working with children with special needs. As well as being on the governing body I am also 1 of the 4 women team responsible for putting on a school musical production for the last two years, and hopefully again this year, helping raise money for the school. Term of office ends October 2017 No business interests Roles and Responsibilities: Finance, Personnel and General Purposes Committee, Foundation Stage Governor Lucy Roberts. I am a parent governor, with two daughters currently attending Beverley Minster CE Primary School. I have a degree in Behavioural Sciences, with a keen interest in education, child development and mental health. I have worked as a group worker in a therapeutic children’s residential setting, where I have seen children thrive despite their early upbringing. I have also been a project worker for a children’s charity which focused on providing activities and opportunities for disadvantaged children. While working in this role, I witnessed the growth of self-esteem and aspiration as children took on different responsibilities within their neighbourhood. I took time out of employment once my children were born, to be a full time stay at home mum, but was eager to get back to work once they both began school. I currently work at Beverley Minster Primary School as a lunchtime supervisor and a teaching assistant. It is fantastic to be able to see the school from the perspective of both parent and employee. Term of office ends October 2017 No business interests Roles and Responsibilities: SENCO, Safeguarding and Pastoral Care Governor, Curriculum, Pupil Progress & Inclusion Committee, Ethos Committee Richard Grantham I am a secondary school teacher with 12 years of senior leadership experience, having taught in schools in the East Riding of Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. I returned to East Yorkshire with my family in 2010 and currently hold the position of Director of Governance at the Yorkshire and the Humber Cooperative Learning Trust. I am based at Kelvin Hall School in Hull and was part of the Senior Leadership Team at the school when it was rated ‘Outstanding’ in all categories by Ofsted in February 2015. Whilst having oversight of Governance across a multi–academy trust, I have a particular interest in student leadership, the Cooperative Schools Movement and Special Educational Needs. I have two sons at Beverley Minster Primary School Term of office ends October 2017 No business interests Roles and Responsibilities: Curriculum, Pupil Progress & Inclusion Committee, Pupil Premium and Progress Governor Ian Merryweather Originally from Middlesbrough I came to Hull in in 1969. I am a retired Headteacher having taught in Hull and the East Yorkshire for over 36 years, in both the primary and secondary sectors. I am a member of Beverley Minster where I served as a Warden for over 9 years. I have been a governor in a number of schools for over 30 years. Being a Governor at Beverley Minster Primary School enables me to maintain my interest in education and support the school in the ever-changing demands it faces. I feel privileged to serve in a Church of England School that has such a well-developed Christian ethos and strives to reach such high educational standards. My three grandchildren have attended Beverley Minster Primary and have been happy at the school valuing the education and the wider curriculum opportunity that it offers. Term of office ends September 2019 No business interests Roles and Responsibilities: Finance, Personnel and General Purposes Committee, Computing Governor, Gill James 'I have the privilege of being one of four foundation governors and see my responsibility as strengthening the link with Beverley Minster and our Church school and supporting the staff in their endeavour to provide a rich learning environment for the children in our care.'

I have just been re-elected for a second term as Chair. I am married to Sarah, we are both born and raised in Beverley. We have two children, Grace, who has been through Minster School and is now in Year 10 at Beverley High School, and Daisy who is in Year 2. I work as a Regional Manager for a specialist vehicle manufacturer with our primary focus being on vehicles for disability use, providing the less-able with solutions to allow them the freedom the rest of us take for granted. I became a Governor in order that I could ensure my children receive the education they deserve, and have since been part of several major decision-making processes, including employing Mrs Hatter as our Headteacher. I chair the Finance Committee and now have an understanding of the budgetary pressures primary schools find themselves under. Since becoming a Governor I have completed many training sessions delivered by the Local authority. These have all added to my knowledge and hopefully made me a better Governor for the good of all our children.

  • The Business of School Improvement
    the business of school improvement ACHIEVEMENT LANDSCAPE PICTURES: KEY STAGE 4 2018 At the end of each academic year, for the past eleven years, ECARDA has used the published national datasets to produce pictures of school achievement. The attached selection shows the achievement of schools in Lincolnshire and the Humber sub- region, including Doncaster, at the end of Key Stage 4. On one set of graphs, the horizontal axis refers to “attainment” and, since 2016, uses the published attainment 8 measure. On the other set, the horizontal axis refers to KS4 FSM. The vertical axis refers to “progress” and, since 2016, uses the published progress 8 measure. For 2018, we have used the adjusted progress 8 measure, which mitigates extreme effects. The labels in each of the chart quadrants are no more than indicators: Higher-than-average attainment with higher-than-average progress is indicated as accomplishing; Lower-than- average-attainment with higher-than-average progress is indicated as striving; Lower-than- average-progress with higher-than-average attainment is indicated as cruising; Lower-than- average attainment with lower-than-average progress is indicated as struggling. Those clustered around the intersection of the axes may be described as “in line with national averages”. Discounting those clustered around the centre/average, the proportion of schools or pupils which fall into each of these categories makes for an interesting comparison across local authority areas. See the ECARDA website for a presentation of this type of analysis in 2016. The final three pictures show the achievement landscape of all local authorities across the country with differing labelling to highlight differing characteristics.
