School Governor Profiles

Ruth Morgan- LA Governor Vice Chair of Governors

My husband and I moved to Tattenhall 18 months ago and after a warm welcome at St Albans church I immediately became involved in the PCC. I was appointed as Church Warden this year and I’m actively  organising events and support for our community. I  am involved in  the Tattenhall Community Help Group and setting up the Helpline organising  our volunteers in response to the Coronavirus Pandemic.

I have 27 years experience of education as a teacher and senior leader in several Cheshire High Schools. I have been a SENCO and Assistant Head with responsibility for safeguarding and pastoral care and transition to high school programmes. I have a passionate belief in educating the whole child, inclusivity and the importance of home/school/community partnerships. I believe, “It takes a village to raise a child”.

Rebecca Wright- Parent Governor

Our family moved to Tattenhall in 2016 and our two children currently attend the school. I joined the board as parent governor in November 2020.

I have a twenty year career working in the aviation and manufacturing industry. I am a qualified accountant but am currently working as a business manager, where I am responsible for project management, budget delivery and driving development strategies.

I enjoy being a Sunday school teacher for 3-6 year olds at my church in Chester and have been treasurer for our toddler group since 2015. My free time is spent with friends and family, enjoying the great outdoors, food and book club.

I am passionate about education and the opportunities learning gives children, believing that a positive experience in primary school lays the foundation for the rest of our lives.  

Peter Brown- Parent Governor.  Chair of Governors

We moved to the village several years ago and very much enjoy living here.  

I have two children in the school and joined the Board of Governors as a Parent Governor in November 2020.  

I have background in adventurous and educational activities, and leisure and tourism and I am currently Managing Director of a European leisure business. My voluntary roles include Chair of the Board of Directors for a trade association and Chair of a British Standards Institute Expert Panel involved in the writing of new international safety standards.  

I am keen on being active and outdoors and I have a particular interest in enrichment activities and ensuring children have the opportunity to experience a broad base education to allow them to thrive and excel.  

Amy Richards

Amy is currently Head of Safeguarding, Attendance, Behaviour, and Culture for a Multi Academy Trust across both Primary and Secondary Schools, following on from working as an Assistant Headteacher in a 3-18 School and 12 years in a diverse range of a schools.

Amy's background in pastoral leadership in Schools reflects her belief in holistic education and the all-round development of young people; Amy has an MA in Educational Leadership, and holds the National Award for SEN Coordination, DSL and Senior Mental Health Lead qualifications and is the Tattenhall Park Primary Link Governor for Safeguarding.

Rowan Morris

My family and I moved to Tattenhall in 2018. Our two children attend the school, and I was co-opted onto the Governing board in mid 2023.

I am an airline pilot and human factors instructor. I am a keen traveller, and in my spare time I enjoy cycling and hiking. I also volunteer as a leader at 1st Sandstone Beavers. Our school's ethos of 'Roots to Grow, Wings to Fly' encapsulates my belief in the importance of a positive primary education experience in a child's development.

Claire Parkin

I moved to the village in 2007 with my husband when my eldest (who is now 18) was 3. My two boys have both been through Tattenhall School and I have a daughter who is currently in Year 5. Having attended the school gates for the past 14 years and helped on the PTFA for the last 5 years, Tattenhall Park has been (and still is), an important part of my life.

I also have 25 years’ experience of education as a primary school teacher; teaching in a school in Carlisle before moving to Chester to work in a junior school on the Wirral. I strongly believe that primary education forms the bedrock of development. It is in primary school that children learn foundational skills that prepare them for life and work. So, at a time of such change at Tattenhall Park, I see it as an exciting time to become involved and join the board of Governors here.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and can often be found jogging around Dark Lane or being taken for a walk by our mad dog!
