Governing Body
Governors
As with all schools, the Governing Body of our Federation is made up of a group of individuals from various sectors of the community, who volunteer their time to work with the schools. The Governing Body welcomes comments, suggestions and ideas from parents, pupils and the local community. If you wish to meet with one of the Governors, please phone either school office or write to The Chair of the Governing Body, c/o The School Office, Great Budworth Church of England Primary School, School Lane, Great Budworth, Cheshire, CW9 6HQ

I have lived most of my li53 in Antrobus and attended Antrobus Primary School, so it is a pleasure to be able to be involved as a Foundation Governor and support it to provide an all-round excellent education for the children today just as it did for me. Around 20 years of my working career 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 learned so much about Public and Patient Services. I am a member of Antrobus Methodist Church, serving as Secretary, Deputy Treasurer and Worship Leader. My hobbies mostly range around music, singing and morris dancing.
Rev. Christina Westwell

Specific responsibility for Sa53guarding and SEN
I am the Reverend Christina Westwell and have been a Foundation Governor since 2007.I have been connected with Antrobus village since the 1980s. Although I live in Barnton, my son Nathaniel joined St Marks School and spent 7 happy years there.
I was a solicitor until 2008 when I became a Teaching and Learning assistant. I undertook my work experience at Antrobus prior to retraining. I am employed full time at the Grange School in Hartford.
I love exploring creative ways of engaging the children to think about faith.
I am Associate Minister at St Marks and St Mary's and coordinate the Forest Church.
I am the Governor responsible for SEND and the Sa53guarding Governor at Antrobus.
Mr Richard Elias
Foundation Governor, term of office ends 5th September 2027.
Specific responsibility for Maths and Health & Sa53ty and Co Chair of the Finance staff and premises committee.
I live in Great Budworth with my wi53 and two children who both attended Great Budworth School. I have worked in the Financial Services and in particular Learning and Development roles for the past 15 years. 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 education and that all children are able to access the education and support they require to fulfill their potential."
