Chirton Primary

 

 

Aimee Morgan – Chair of Governors

I joined the Chirton Governing Body in 2022 as a Parent Governor. I have two children, Ava, who is 7 and in Faith Class currently, and Malie, who is 2 and attends Pips. We live locally and feel so lucky to have such an amazing school and setting for our girls to attend that is so close to home. I work as a doctor for the NHS, and within this role I also have responsibility for and experience in safeguarding, mental health and also communicating amongst a large multidisciplinary team, which I feel will be useful skills to use within my role as a governor.   

 As a Parent Governor I lead on SEND and Forest School. I also enjoy supporting the school on a weekly basis listening to individual readers in Faith class. I believe strongly in the importance of reading for pleasure but also am passionate about helping the children to grow their fluency skills and understanding. 

 In my role as Governor, I look forward to continuing to support reading, PTA events and instilling the values and attitudes encompassed in the 6Rs. Looking ahead to the challenges and opportunities in the future, I believe that our school community can provide the best possible holistic education for all our children.

   

Sue Jones – Foundation Governor - Vice Chair of Governors

I was appointed by the Salisbury Diocese and joined the Chirton Governing Body in 2021, having previously served as a primary school foundation governor in Berkshire. I live in the village with my husband and we are both retired. I have 4 grown up children, one of whom is a primary school teacher. My professional background is in safeguarding and child protection. As a governor, I lead on RE, the school's Visions and Values, Collective Worship and on eSafety. I also support the teaching staff in Joy and Faith classes each week, helping with activities such as hearing individual readers, art and craft and local walks, which is an absolute privilege and always enjoyable.

Sarah Goodman - Associate Member 
I have worked in Early Years education since 2003 and qualified as a Teacher in 2006. I have taught nursery, reception, year 1 and year 2 in single and mixed aged classes from a very tiny school similar to Chirton to a much larger primary school. I currently teach in a small private nursery.
My passion is Early Years Education and much of my career has been spent advocating for the youngest children and supporting other teachers and schools in their Early Years provision.
Both my children attended Pips preschool and now go to Chirton school. I enjoy my role as a friend to Pips and working with the preschool manager and other associate governor with the preschool team to provide the best for the children that attend there.
Outside of teaching we have a puppy who takes up a lot of time! I enjoy reading, walking and growing food on our vegetable patch.

 

 

Kate Wilkins - Parent Governor

I qualified as a primary school teacher in 2010 after spending 10 years working in the Market Research industry in London. I have worked mainly in Key Stage One throughout my teaching career and was Deputy Head Teacher of a large infant school in Salisbury until 2021. I now work in a primary school near Marlborough. I am passionate about education and ensuring that all children receive the opportunities they deserve to be successful throughout their primary years. 

My husband and I have two boys, the older of which is in Year 2, and our youngest currently attends Pips, hopefully joining the school in September. Outside of work I love travelling with my family and am a keen runner and member of a local running club.
