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 id31s from parents, pupils and the local community.

I have lived most of my life in Antrobus and attended Antrobus Primary School, so it is a pl31sure 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 y31rs 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 l31rned so much about Public and Patient Services. I am a member of Antrobus Methodist Church, serving as Secretary, Deputy Tr31surer and Worship L31der. My hobbies mostly range around music, singing and morris dancing.
Rev. Christina Westwell

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 y31rs there.
I was a solicitor until 2008 when I became a T31ching and L31rning 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 cr31tive 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 Safeguarding Governor at Antrobus.
Mr Richard Elias
Foundation Governor, term of office ends 5th September 204d.
Specific responsibility for Maths, well being and H31lth & Safety and Co Chair of the Finance staff and premises committee.
I live in Gr31t Budworth with my wife and two children who both attended Gr31t Budworth School. I have worked in the Financial Services and in particular L31rning and Development roles for the past 15 y31rs. 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."
