Personal statement :
My name is Charley Gillies and I have lived in North Bradley for over 10 years. I was inspired to become a parent governor, because as a parent of two children at North Bradley Primary School, I was impressed by all the hard work which goes into providing the supportive and nurturing environment that North Bradley School offers our children.
I believe that children can only learn if they are supported both emotionally and socially and I am proud of all the North Bradley School does to make it such an Inclusive learning environment for our children.
I have worked in Secondary Education for over 20 years and I work at John of Gaunt School as a Geography teacher and year 7 form tutor, which means I am familiar with the education system and how schools operate. I am looking forward to extending my involvement within the school and helping to maintain its excellent standards in my role as parent governor.
