GOVERNOR NEWS ISSUE 27
SUMMER 2011
School & Governor Unit Staff Update I’m sure you will be pleased to hear that Ruth Rolfe has been appointed to the position of School Governor Officer and Chantal Bideleux has taken over in Ruth’s previous post as Administrative Support for Governing Bodies. Chantal will be married by the time you read this summer edition but she has decided not to change her surname. Perhaps she will be persuaded to include a photograph of her wedding in the autumn edition! I will take this opportunity to let you all know that I will be leaving the Local Authority at the end of the academic year after working in the School & Governor Unit for the last 15 years and in various other parts of the Education Dept for many years before that, and for the first 12 years of my career I was a primary school teacher. I have a long list of things planned for when I finish, the latest of which is that I have just become an Inspector for Estyn for Adult and Community Learning. Governors and Clerks to Governors tend to recognise me more quickly than I recognise you. There is only one of me and quite a lot of you, so it’s easier for you! However, if you see me after I have left the Education Dept, do stop to say hello. Jain Watkins School & Governor Unit Manager
