Meet the Governors

Katherine Parsons
I became a co-opted Governor of Elloughton Primary School in June 2014 and have recently been elected as Chair after spending around 18 months as Vice – Chair. I am also the chair of the Behaviour, Safety & Welfare committee. I have worked with Children, Young People and families in a variety of settings within the Education and Youth Sector over the last sixteen years and feel my experience can be put to good use in my local community.
Although it may sound like a cliché, I am very passionate about Education and believe that the early experiences at primary school are so important in any child’s life, no matter what their background. I completed a master’s degree in Education in January 2018 and focused my final project and Dissertation on Governance and School Improvement. I did so in the hope that I could use the research outcomes to benefit both our School and hopefully others in supporting governors to help achieve success for all.
I currently work at a University in their Marketing and Student Recruitment department and have visited many schools around the UK and beyond as part of my role, which involves raising the aspirations of children and young people between the ages of 9 and 18. Having spent time in so many different schools, it has shown me how important it is to establish a strong school community, a welcoming and inclusive environment and actively promote high standards of teaching and behaviour. I truly believe that Elloughton School, with the dedicated staff, engaged parents and talented pupils is a wonderful place to be.
My hopes for the school in the future are that as well as all pupils making progress in the necessary academic areas and achieving their full potential, they have an exceptional school experience and feel safe, happy, supported and inspired throughout their time here. I hope that they will leave Elloughton Primary for secondary school as confident, respectful, resilient and motivated individuals who, whether they continue their Education to University or not, stay passionate about learning throughout their lives and remember their time with us as a positive one.
