Governors help to make school policy, they must meet at least once a term and may serve for a four year period. Governors have legal duties, powers and responsibilities, they can only act together, they cannot act as individuals.

Miss Abi Willis
Staff Governor
Date of Appointment: October 2021
I am delighted to have been elected as the Staff Governor; I believe that this will be an excellent learning opportunity for me and will give me greater insight into the running of the school. I am keen to have a better understanding of some of the wider rules and regulations that govern what we do and to understand how decisions are made. Most of all, I think it is really important to being the voice of the staff to the discussion and I will do this with enthusiasm.

My name is Carl Skerritt. I became a Parent Governor in October 2008 and a member of the Resources Committee with responsibilty for Maths. I hold a management position within Information Technology for a major utility company. When choosing a school we immediately liked Titchmarsh Primary school for its great reputation, friendliness, small size and values.
I became a governor to help support, and be involved with the school to help ensure that the excellent work already achieved is maintained and the school continues to thrive; providing a great environment for the children to learn and develop important skills and values for their future.

Both of my children are currently at Titchmarsh Primary having been drawn to the school for its nurturing Ethos and the whole school community feel it brings.
I was a Police Officer for 12 years based in Community Policing roles and know the value of building positive relationships with partner agencies. Since then I have spent 3 years working in Secondary Education in an area of high deprivation within the County, holding a responsibility for Safeguarding and year group wellbeing.
Since January 2021 I have been employed as an Early Intervention and ACE Support Officer working with young people who are at risk of, or involved with, gang-related violence.
All of my roles have given me broad knowledge and experience in child protection and Safeguarding legislatios and have allowed me to support some of the County's most vulnerable young people. I strive to achieve positive outcomes for young people and hope I can support the school in achieving this also.
