Angela Pratt : Chair of Governors

I am passionate about learning and believe that schools play an important role in a child’s life. I am delighted to have been elected as Chair of Governors at Meadowside Primary, my local school. I see this role as both a support and critical friend to the school that ensures all children are given the opportunities and experiences that will enable them to become independent and fulfilled young people.

I have valuable leadership experience having been a headteacher for over 10 years at a successful Primary school in Northampton. I have worked with schools in challenging circumstances and led school improvement activities in both my previous school and others in the locality. As I am now retired, I have the time to devote to my role as Chair of Governors and I am a regular visitor to the school. I keep up to date with educational policy and practice through reading and marking leadership assessments for a national organisation.
