OUR GOVERNORS
At Tillington we have an extremely supportive governing body consisting of parents, members of staff, members of the community and the Local Authority. The role of the governing body is to ensure that our school continues to improve, celebrating in its successes as well as holding to account decisions made.
The governors have a termly meeting based on an agenda which is set by the Local Authority; however, much of the work is undertaken in smaller sub-committees which generally meet at least once a term. Each governor has a responsibility for reporting on a particular area of the School Improvement Plan. This involves interacting with staff and the Senior Management Team as well as engaging with the children during lessons and scrutinising data. The governing body is made up of a mix of new and experienced governors, each bringing different skills and representing different views. All governors are appointed for a 4 year term of office.
Minutes of meetings are available in school, please speak to a member of the school office staff.

Who we are!
Simon Rowland
I’m a parent at Tillington Manor and have been a governor since 2017. I work in IT for a global educational institution and both of my parents worked in Primary Education – I was responsible for the computer hardware at my mum’s school from the age of 14! I’m passionate about Tillington Manor Primary School and ensuring that the children we educate are given the best possible start in life.
Richard Thomas
During my many years on the Governing Body of this school I have been a Parent Governor, Local Authority Nominated Governor and am now a Co-opted Governor.
I am the EYFS (Early Years) Link Governor and Health & Safety Governor monitoring the school’s buildings and grounds, sitting on PHMAT SHE committee.
I continue to be a regular visitor in School, am well known – by name – to the majority of the children and am perhaps ‘most famous’ in the children’s eyes for my role commentating and cheer-leading on Sports day!
Stephan Richardson
I am married with three children, all of whom had their primary education at Tillington.
I have been a Parent/LEA/Co-opted governor ever since my eldest child started at Tillington.
I used to work as an IT technician in a primary school before I retired.
