Our Local Education Committee can consist of the following members: 2x Parent, 1x Staff, 1x Head, 4-6x Co-opted. When we have vacancies we seek to recruit new members. Do ask if you would like to be considered.

At the current time we also have 2 x Associate Members.

This is what some of our members say about themselves and their roles:

Emma Dunn: I have worked at Westminster Primary School since 2015 and it has been a privilege to work across the key stages during this time. It was a pleasure to take up the role of Deputy Head in 2018, at the same time take on the role of associate member on the Education Committee.

Lisa Hughes: I have worked at Westminster Community Primary School as the school Bursar since September 2016 and was appointed as an Associate Governor in July 2020. My background is mostly in and around finance/business administration. I currently manage the school finances including budgets, ordering and HR-related procedures. In my previous role I worked as Business Support in a local Children’s Centre where I undertook a similar role, managing budgets for 3 Centres as well as daily admin and other tasks.

Sue Mayers: “I have taught in a variety of schools and completed my career in the largest Primary School in North Lincolnshire as Assistant/Deputy Head. This senior role meant that I was involved with all aspects of school life. During this time I was also very involved with the governing body. I have been a governor at Westminster Community Primary School for a number of years and am currently Chair. I relish any training that I may have access to so that I can be as an effective governor to the school as possible. I feel that my senior management skills and teaching experiences benefit the school. I am very proud to be involved with Westminster Community Primary School.

Laura Turner: “I have been a governor at this wonderful school since 2015 after previously leading a weekly after-school club in school. I am also a qualified counsellor and work as a mental health lead for a local third sector company and have a passion to promote positive mental health in young people”.
