I’m a Principal Consultant working in high hazard industries across the globe. I have been a Co-opted Governor at St John’s since 2017, and have enjoyed my role, and learning about the school very much. I am the Chair of Governors, I sit on the Health and Safety Sub-committee, and have enjoyed being able to use some of my industry experience in a different setting.

Gareth Thomas

I'm Gareth Thomas, the vicar for St John's church and a foundation governor for our school. It is a real pleasure to support our school both through my role as governor and as pastor, to care for both the staff and the children, as well as leading assemblies and services for them when we are able. My daughter did really well at St John's with both her academic and emotional needs being met by the school and it is great to see the school going from strength to strength.

Sarah Rubin

I am the Headteacher governor for St. John’s CE Primary School.  I have been the Headteacher for over 12 years now and thoroughly enjoy the role.  It is a privilege to work alongside colleagues, governors, parents, pupils and parish members and to see the school continue to thrive.  My background is in education, having secured a Bachelor of Education at Chester College, affiliated to Liverpool University, over twenty years ago. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher and absolutely love my role and the variety of work that I get to do.

I joined the governing body in September 2019 as a Foundation Governor.   I am an Ordained Local Minister at St John's Pendlebury Church and have been involved with the school since 2013 when I helped to set up and run an after school club Jesus and Me (JAM Club), and also helped with assemblies.   I look forward to giving whatever support I can as a governor.

I’m Leah. I am a parent Governor and just like every parent at St. John’s Primary School,  I want the very best for my children who attend. I hope I can always bring a fair parent's perspective to each governor meeting.
