Personal Statement

I live locally in Shirebrook and have been a parent of Park Schools Federation for the past 7 years and have a child in Year 6 due to leave soon and a child in Year 3. My children have thrived at Park Schools Federation, and I would like to see the school succeed for more years to come.

I have 16 years of experience working with children and young families. 5 years I spent working with Social Care supporting vulnerable and looked after children and I have always been committed to safeguarding children. The past 7 years I have worked in a local primary school as a teaching assistant and most recent years a higher-level TA.  During my time there I have also ran the local creche at Shirebrook Leisure Centre, whom many of those babies and toddlers now attend Park Schools Federation.

I have recently had a career change which is more suited to my family life and children’s extracurricular activities. Therefore, applying to be a parent governor is the perfect opportunity to continue my ambitions to safeguard all children and be a part of children’s education. And what better school to keep my toes dipped into than Park Schools Federation.

I am committed to support Mr Shah and his team with educational performance, overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent for all pupils at Park Schools Federation. I already love the school's ethos and visions and believe with my experience and passion I would be a great asset to the Governing Board.
