Gubernatorzy
Nasz Lokalny Organ Zarządzający
Dyrektorzy regularnie odwiedzają szkołę, aby spotykać się i rozmawiać z dziećmi i personelem. Każdego semestru organizujemy w szkole Dzień Gubernatora, kiedy odwiedzają lekcje, prowadzą dyskusje uczniowskie, przeprowadzają kontrolę pracy i spotykają się z rodzicami i nauczycielami. Uczestniczą również w wydarzeniach i zgromadzeniach w szkole. Pozwala im to zobaczyć, w jaki sposób realizowane są strategie i plany szkoły, w jaki sposób wykorzystywane są zasoby, a także gromadzić informacje i wiedzę o szkole.
Nasi gubernatorzy to zróżnicowana grupa osób reprezentujących rodziców, personel szkoły i społeczność lokalną, o szerokim zakresie umiejętności i doświadczeń. Wszystkich łączy wspólny cel, jakim jest pomoc w rozwoju i doskonaleniu szkoły, a przez to zapewnienie dzieciom możliwie najlepszej edukacji.
Wszyscy gubernatorzy są wolontariuszami.
Lokalne Ciało Kierownicze spotyka się przynajmniej raz na kadencję. Gubernatorzy uczestniczą w szkoleniach prowadzonych zewnętrznie, a także uczestniczą w wewnętrznych szkoleniach LGB w każdej kadencji. Nasza działająca przewodnicząca, Rachel Proctor, również spotyka się z przewodniczącymi innych szkół Thrive na zasadzie semestralnej.
Obowiązki gubernatora
Szkoła opracowuje Podróż Rozwoju Szkoły (SDJ), w której wyszczególnia Kluczowe Priorytety doskonalenia w ciągu najbliższych trzech lat oraz sposoby ich osiągnięcia. Gubernatorzy współpracują z personelem w celu zapewnienia realizacji tych kluczowych priorytetów. Gubernatorzy ściśle współpracują z personelem w ramach „Trzech wielkich pomysłów”, które są trzema kluczowymi elementami prac doskonalących, które zostały zidentyfikowane w SDJ.
Governors Attendance 2024-25
Ann Matthews
Role: Chair of Governors
Business Interests: None
I became chair of governors at the beginning of the Spring Term 2024. I had recently retired from Priory Primary School having held the position of Pastoral Lead and DDSL for many happy years. Up to that point, I had worked in education for 25 years, 18 of them at Priory. My understanding of the school and its community is, I feel, an advantage in my position as chair and gives me a greater insight into the needs of the school and its wider community. I have built up many strong relationships with children, parents/carers and staff and believe this makes me approachable by all stakeholders. I am so pleased to be still involved in Priory School, albeit from a different angle.

Joe Tomlinson
Role: Vice Chair of Governors
Business Interests: None
As a lifelong resident of Hull my education journey took me from Gillshill Primary School to the city’s University. I have always had a keen interest and passion for playing sport running in tandem with this and in my working life, have been able to combine the two, which has proven hugely fulfilling.
Initially working as a PE Coordinator and teacher at Collingwood Primary School, I moved on to undertake a variety of roles at The Football Association supporting children and the teachers and coaches who work with them. I now lead Physical Foundations in helping a variety of schools develop their Physical Education Curriculum and activity offer.
As a governor I enjoy seeing and supporting the way that Priory engages, empowers and embeds it’s curriculum and many other aspects of school life to its community.

Tracey Parkinson
Role: Co-opted Governor
Business Interests: None
I’ve been a member of Priory Primary’s Governing Body for the last 13 years. I worked at the school for almost 20 years as a Teaching Assistant, based across various year groups before deciding to take early retirement in December 2021. I live locally and both of my adult sons went to Priory and I feel that the school is at the heart of the local community. Since retiring, I have become a volunteer at the school, helping and supporting in various roles. I enjoy being a part of the school’s ongoing success and hope to continue my Governor role well into the future.
Jayne Russell
Role: Co-opted Governor
Business Interests: None
I have been a Governor at Priory Primary School for about 25 years. I became a member of the Governing Body just after my eldest son started the school - both my sons attended Priory. I have seen a lot of changes in the role of being a Governor over the years. I enjoy being part of the running of the school and being able to contribute to the schools successes. I have worked for the Department of Work and Pensions for 32 years as an Executive Officer, I work in one of the local Job Centres as a Work Coach and sometimes the transferable skills of my job role and that of a Governor is valuable. I also have links within the local community as I am a Beaver Scout Leader at the local Church.
Janet Woodmansey
Role: Parent Governor
Business Interests: None
I have three adult children and whilst they were at school I was parent Governor. I now have three grandchildren, two at Priory Primary and another to come and feel I have the time to give to the school governor team. I have my grandchildren on a daily school term basis as Mum is a teacher, we bring them to school/nursery and collect them: often caring for them on non-school days too. I have an interest in their education and the life of the school.
My work history has been two spells as a Police Constable including Vulnerable Victim Officer and Child Interviewer, I was also Safeguarding representative at my local church for a while. I am educated to BA(Hons) and did a postgraduate submission for Chartered Librarian. This was my last post before retiring, working in an adult male prison.
Allison Allinson
Role: Staff Governor
Business Interests: None
I am the baptism secretary at my local church, as well as a senior steward, responsible for the decision-making and running of the church. I volunteer regularly as part of the HEY volunteer program, set up as part of the City of Culture in 2012. I am an active member of the WI and belong to various other groups and enjoy numerous hobbies including crafts and swimming.
I am currently employed at Priory Primary School as an HLTA, working in every year group across the school and adapting to every situation. During my time at Priory, I have become passionate about the educational experience we can give our children to improve their well-being and in doing so, their outcomes. With my experience, I believe I can offer valuable skills and make a diverse contribution to the board of governors.
Amy Johnson
Role: Staff Governor
Business Interests: None
I have had the pleasure of working here at Priory Primary for the last 4 years; during my time here, I believe I have flourished as a teacher and a member of our school community due to the wonderful support system in place. Since starting as an NQT in 2020, I have had a plethora of opportunities for CPD and to further develop myself as a teacher, but I believe now is the perfect time for a new challenge. I would love the opportunity to be a member of our school governing body to learn more about the fundamentals of our school from a different angle as I am passionately committed to supporting the school in continuing to develop and improve, to ensure all children at Priory Primary succeed at the highest level in all areas of their school life.
