Phil Ashton

Co-Opted Governor: Phil Ashton

Appointed: 08/06/2021

Committees: Pay Committee, Headteacher's Performance Management Committee

Particular interests: SEND, Safeguarding and Finance

Why I want to be a governor:

As a parent of several children with SEND with experience of the process for Education Health Care Plans and therapeutic learning, Trauma and Attachment I wanted to share my experiences and knowledge and champion a whole learning approach within the mainstream school environment.  I am also experienced with local authority procurement contract management I felt I could help apply my skills in my working role to help support the school.  In addition I have been on numerous courses relating to children’s mental health.  I was previously Vice Chair at Mount Primary School and share my knowledge with the board.

Personal information:

I am employed by the Local Authority in the Network Management Team.  My spare time I enjoy Wargaming, hillwalking, adventure activities (zip wires, exploring hidden Britain), computer gaming and as a family interacting with historical monuments as well as travelling all over the UK to learn about our past. I would say we are always busy every weekend!
