Governance

Kelly Harrison

I am the Headteacher and staff governor. I share the views and where, appropriate, the concerns of staff with the governing body and act as a conduit between staff and the governing body. I am passionate about quality teaching and learning, having over 18 years’ experience in education myself. Outside of work, I love watching my son play football for a local football team and walking my dog with my husband.

Peter Lee

I am proud to have recently joined the board of governors at St Aidan’s as it’s foundation governor. I have been a governor in varying roles for the past 20 years in secondary schools, but now pleased to be working with a primary school within a multi academy trust. Locally based though out of Blackburn, I have worked in education technology for the past 22 with the likes of Promethean, LEB Partnership and Learning by Questions. The role of governor assists with teaching you the values of education and a very realistic view of the challenges faced daily by a school. I passionately believe in equality and that all of our learners should have the best possible opportunities at the start of their journey. I am here to support our learners and our fantastic team of leaders and teachers. Working together we can see our school become a beacon of excellence in the local area. When not working or being a governor it’s a love of loud music, family, campervans, interesting reads, dogs and Hull Kingston Rovers (which probably explains my eternal optimism).

Stephen Dockerill

My name is Stephen Dockerill, my son Lennon is in year 6 at St. Aidan’s and we are locally based in Blackburn. I was interested in joining the parent governor group because I am passionate about education and felt I could contribute to the ongoing success of the school. I am committed to attending meetings, visits and training sessions and have time to dedicate myself to this role. My position at Together Housing means I am actively involved in helping communities and individuals from all backgrounds, skills which I believe can be transferred to support the school and its governing body. I firmly believe that every child deserves access to a high-quality education, and as a dedicated Christian, I hope to be able to contribute and promote the academic development of the children, as well as the Christian values of the school. I hope to actively engage with parents and teachers, listening to their concerns, and ensuring that their voices are heard in decision-making processes. In my spare time my family and I enjoy days out and generally spending time together. I enjoy playing chess and am an avid reader.

This is my first appointment as a governor and I look forward to being heavily involved in the role. I attended St Aidan’s myself, and currently have one child in the school and one who is now at College, who also attended St Aidan’s. My full time role is Lecturing at the University of Bolton, which links in with my passion for teaching and education. I have drive for Education and want to bring to St Aidan’s any knowledge and skills within my current role to assist in the role as Governor. I am also a Registered Paramedic and therefore am fully aware of standards and protocols within a work place environment and appreciate the importance of understanding what is expected when adhering to these. I look forward to using any strengths and opportunities we are faced with to overcome any challenges and threats and be part of the governing team that strives our school within the local area. Outside of work I support both of my daughters in their sports of Netball and Gymnastics and learning how to train our new Dalmatian puppy! I am extremely passionate about the role and look forward to achieving great things as a St Aidan’s foundation governor.
