"I have lived in Walmersley most of my life and I have had a connection with Springside school for many years.  My daughter attended the school following the amalgamation of Hillside CPS and Walmersley CPS during which time I was a parent governor. My experience is in health and safety and I maintained a link with the school during my career with Bury Council. 

Following my retirement in 2009 I became a governor of the school and I have been able to use my skills and knowledge to advise on matters of health and safety. 

I became Chair of Governors in November 2014."

"I am a chair of the Resources, School Improvement and General Appeals Committees, the link Governor for Health & Safety, Safeguarding, Child Protection and Looked after Children, Child Sexual Exploitation and The Prevent Duty and have a responsibility for Governor Development.  I have attended 4/4 full Governing Board Meetings, 2/3 Resources Committee meetings and 8/8 School Improvement Committee meetings in the last 12 months."

"I have read the document entitled 'Register of pecuniary or business interests' and I declare I do not have any interests which may conflict with my duties as a Governor of school.  I agree in the event of any interests arising after making this declaration I will declare to the Governing Board such interests."
