My name is Chloe, and I am a parent of a pupil here at New Swannington.

I have been a school Parent Governor here for 2 years and have also served as Chair of Governors for a short time.  I am also a Governor at another school and work full time as a senior leader in a large special school within the East Midlands. 

I have worked with children for 16 years in different roles, primarily in educational settings.  I am a mental health first-aider and also a qualified Makaton tutor!  I have a vast knowledge of SEND and also a specific interest in Literacy and Communication.  New Swannington school has been a big part of my life, with my own siblings attending many years ago and even completing work experience at the school when I was younger.   When the opportunity came to apply to be a governor, I knew I wanted to use my experience and expertise to support the school.  I am keen to maintain the school's high standard whilst ensuring that we adhere to statutory guidelines and remain informed about new practice.

I am passionate about securing the best outcomes for children and apply this to my role as governor, asking challenging questions and ensuring the school has the right support.
