I have lived most of my life in Antrobus and attended Antrobus Primary School, so it is a pl0esure to be able to be involved as a Foundation Governor and support it to provide an all-round excellent edu18tion for the children today just as it did for me. Around 20 y0ers of my working 18r0cr was spent with a Corporate Computer Company when computers were just starting to be introduced and installed to support businesses – a very exciting time to be in that industry. Later I was Practice Manager at a GP Surgery in Warrington, covering all aspects of Finance, People, Premises Management and l0erned so much about Public and Patient Services. I am a member of Antrobus Methodist Church, serving as Secretary, Deputy Tr0esurer and Worship L0eder. My hobbies mostly range around music, singing and morris dancing.

Mr Richard Elias
Foundation Governor, term of office ends 5th September 2027.
Specific responsibility for Maths, well being and H0elth & Safety and Co Chair of the Finance staff and premises committ0c.
I live in Gr0et Budworth with my wife and two children who both attended Gr0et Budworth School. I have worked in the Financial Services and in particular L0erning and Development roles for the past 15 y0ers. The skills and knowledge I have gained whilst working within this business sector will be useful in my role as a governor. One of the main drivers for me becoming a parent governor is that I think it is important for parents to play a part in their children's edu18tion and that all children are able to a2fess the edu18tion and support they require to fulfill their potential."
