Governors

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, school governors are members of a school’s Governing Body. In state schools they have responsibility for raising school standards through their three key roles of setting strategic direction, ensuring accountability and acting as a critical friend. They are the largest volunteer force in the country.

Governor’s Profiles

 

Reverend Kathy Trimby

I was ‘re elected as Vice Chair in October 2018 and sit on the Board as a Foundation Governor as the local Rector of Llanyblodwel, Llanymynech, Morton and Trefonen parishes, known collectively as the Border Benefice. As well as being committed to the Spiritual and Moral Education of the children and staff in our school, I am also firmly committed to their emotional and mental well-being as well and I strive to ensure that all who teach and learn at Bryn Offa, are happy, healthy and well rounded, well adjusted individuals both inside and as far as possible outside the school as well. My greatest wish is that the children and staff are the very best of themselves that they can be in all things and with all people.

 

 

Roberta Houghton

I recently joined the Bryn Offa Governing Body as the Local Authority Governor.  Since my appointment I have not been able to meet the other Governors in person but have been made welcome by both them and the school staff and look forward to the return of normal activities in the not too distant future.
 
Whilst brough up in the area I have spent many years in South Wales working for the NHS delivering Primary Care IT systems.   I moved back to the area a few years ago where I continue to work in my job part-time whilst spending most of my spare time taming a very overgrown garden.
 
I have a keen interest in education with a daughter-in- law who is a primary school teacher and two grandchildren entering early years schooling.
 
 
Mrs Janet Brown
 
I am a retired Secondary Head Teacher and have Degrees in Music and Humanities, and also Post Graduate Diploma in Music/ English. I have taught in rural secondary schools and city schools in Shropshire and Wolverhampton and also spent 3 years in a senior position in a British School in Berlin before returning to a senior post in UK.
 
 
Mr Daniel Jones
 
Autumn 2021, I joined the board of governors, representing as a parent. I have one daughter in school and one soon to start, 2022. Bryn Offa is an excellent school, with excellent staff, doing an excellent job. I feel my work as a Learning Support Assistant at Derwen College will help to bring further understanding of SEND and methods used to improve equality, diversity, and inclusivity associated with this time in our children’s lives.
 
I have an agricultural background, growing up on a farm locally. This has led me to teaching horticulture skills and understanding to young adults with SEND. I love my job, its a fantastic place to work, if I can bring a smile to a face a day it is well worth it. Everyone deserves a chance at life.

Register of Business Interests

From 1 September 2015, Governing Bodies are under a duty to publish their register of interests on their website. The register should set out the relevant business interests of Governors and details of any other educational establishments they govern. The register should also set out any relationships between Governors and members of the school staff including spouses, partners and relatives. ‘None’ should be recorded on the entry on the register by Governors who have no interests to register.
