I am currently the Chairman of Governors, as well as being Chairman of Pupils, Curriculum and Standards. My 3 children attended the School, followed by 2 of my Grandchildren, one of which is currently in year 8. I am a local Councillor, being a Town Councillor for Medlar with Wesham and Fylde Borough Councillor for the same ward. I am also involved in many community activities in the area. I am always concerned that Carr Hill High School delivers the best opportunities possible for all our young people and work to that aim. Sara Moreton Governor My name is Sara Moreton and I am a co-opted governor. I live in Freckleton and attended Carr Hill myself as a child. I am married with one son who is currently studying A levels at college. I have 27 years' experience in education, the last 11 as the Headteacher of a small primary school. In my spare time I enjoy walking my 2 dogs, reading, listening to music, spending time with my family and going on holiday abroad. I feel that I play an active part on the Governing Body to help support the Headteacher and staff to continue to improve the education for all. I help to ensure that all children achieve their full potential which will stand them in good stead to enter the next stage of their life whatever that may be. Tina Cooper Governor I joined the governing body at Carr Hill as a Co-opted Governor in 2018. Born in Lytham, originally from Kirkham, and having lived in Lancashire all my life, I am committed to supporting Carr Hill High School to provide the very best education for the young people of the area. I am currently Vice Principal - Curriculum at The Blackpool Sixth Form College and have worked in education for the past 23 years. Previously a teacher, I have experience in managing curriculum and the quality of teaching, learning and assessment and for pastoral care in the sixth form/FE sector and setting up and running a successful out-of-school facility in a primary school. I am proud to have been in my current role at Blackpool Sixth for the past 6 years and am principally responsible for the quality of vocational education and for the admissions, schools liaison and marketing department at this Ofsted rated, outstanding college. I am passionate about enabling young people to fulfil their dreams through success in qualifications and, just as importantly, the development of life and employability skills. At Carr Hill I sit on the School Improvement Plan Committee and Pupils, Curriculum and Standards Committee and look forward to using the skills I have developed over the years for the benefit of the school community. Mr R Gomery Governor I have been a Carr Hill School Governor since November 2018; I am the Link Governor for Science and Health & Safety. I am also the Chair of the Resources Committee. Since becoming a governor, I have retired from Lancashire Constabulary, I am now a lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, teaching Professional Policing students and new police officers. I recently featured in the BBC documentary Fight Back Britain where I discussed the use of modern technologies and their place in fighting and reducing crime. Personally, I am studying to achieve my FHEA, have completed my first year and hope to complete late 2022. I am still mad keen about mountains and hope to bag Ben Hope, the most northerly Munro this year. Carr Hill has a dedicated teaching staff and an enquiring governing body. We strive to make a difference and I would encourage parents and guardians to share their positive experiences in the areas of Science and Health and Safety. Rachel Leaper Governor I have been a parent governor since November 2014 and I am vice chair of Pupils, Curriculum and Standards Committee and Link Governor for Most Able Students.

Having always been community minded, I have served on Fylde Borough Council for 24 years, was Mayor of the Borough in 2009/10 municipal year and also served on Bryning with Warton Parish Council for 28 years.

I am married with two daughters, both are pupils at Carr Hill High School. I graduated from UCLAN with a law degree, qualified as a property lawyer and have worked in the legal sector for over 25 years. I became a Governor in 2019, supporting the school, the Head and his team in ensuring everyone is able to thrive in the school environment and all pupils receive the best possible education, opportunities and support whilst attending the school. As a Parent Governor, it is important to me to ensure parent views are always a consideration. One of my responsibilities is as the Training and Skills Link Governor, a role to help governors receive opportunities to develop and enhance their skills to form the most effective Board. Carol Hayes Governor I grew up in East Sussex and moved to Lancashire with my husband in 1996 with his work at BAE systems. I have worked for a local family run business for the last 23 years in a diversity of roles, ranging from pub & restaurant manager to accounts manager on the construction firm. My 2 children attended Newton Bluecoat Primary school where I am currently a LEA Governor. When they joined Carr Hill I wanted to continue to help shape and support the school leadership team so I joined the Governing board in 2019. My role is the PSHE subject link & Data Link governor and I also sit on the resources committee. I believe every child deserves the best education they can as this prepares them with the skills and knowledge to help them with their future path. In my free time I enjoy walks with the family & our dog, gardening and spending many hours watching the boys play football for a local junior team. Andrew Waller Headteacher/ Staff Governor I qualified as teacher of History and Religious Studies in 1991 and spent many years teaching in Bolton with four years as Subject Leader for Religious Studies and a further six as Head of Sixth Form where I developed a project for Sixth Form students to spend a month in Tanzania in the summer holidays teaching in local schools or working in the clinic just outside the town of Moshi.

In June 2014 I was delighted to be appointed as Headteacher of Carr Hill, taking up post in January 2015. Originally from Bolton I now live near Wigan and so am now very used to the M6 and M55. I knew very little about this area apart from the childhood holidays in Blackpool but have made a real effort to get to know the locality and visit all the local primary schools. I very much want the school to be a real part of the local community. Outside of school I very much enjoy travelling, cooking and the cinema along with a current ambition to do a 10k run. I am also a foundation governor at Savio High – a Catholic Secondary school in Bootle, Merseyside.

I am looking forward to serving on the board of governors and gaining a greater insight into strategic management and accountability at whole school level and I aim to represent the views and interests of staff at Carr Hill to the best of my ability, for the good of our students.
