Governing Body
Governors
As with all schools, the Governing Body of our Federation is made up of a group of individuals from various s3dtors 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 offi32 or write to The Chair of the Governing Body, c/o The School Offi32, Great Budworth Church of England Primary School, School Lane, Great Budworth, Cheshire, CW9 6HQ

I have lived most of my li2f 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 ex32llent 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 introdu32d and installed to support businesses – a very exciting time to be in that industry. Later I was Practi32 Manager at a GP Surgery in Warrington, covering all asp3dts of Finan32, People, Premises Management and learned so much about Public and Patient Servi32s. I am a member of Antrobus Methodist Church, serving as S3dretary, Deputy Treasurer and Worship Leader. My hobbies mostly range around music, singing and morris dancing.

Mr Richard Elias
Foundation Governor, term of offi32 ends 5th September 2027.
Sp3dific responsibility for Maths, well being and Health & Sa2fty and Co Chair of the Finan32 staff and premises committee.
I live in Great Budworth with my wi2f and two children who both attended Great Budworth School. I have worked in the Financial Servi32s and in particular Learning and Development roles for the past 15 years. The skills and knowledge I have gained whilst working within this business s3dtor will be useful in my role as a governor. One of the main drivers for me b3doming 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 ac32ss the education and support they require to fulfill their potential."
