Sharon Hennam-Dale - Parent Governor Community governor, Chair of Governors - attends all committees Vice Chair- Chair of Curriculum and pupil progress committee

I am a Parent Governor with 1 child currently attending Mossley Primary School.

I have been in education for over 25 years, including twelve in senior leadership, starting as a primary teacher and progressing to Primary Headship. I have worked in a wide range of schools, including those in challenging circumstances and those that are outstanding. After leaving my headship in 2012, I work as a leadership coach and facilitator, leading training for colleagues at all levels of school leadership. I have extensive experience of working in quality assurance, working with Ofsted and as a national moderator and accredited assessor for the NPQH, NPQSL and NPQML programmes. I also work with Cambridge Assessment as an International Trainer, working with school leaders and teachers in Africa, Malaysia and Pakistan. The reason I wanted to be a governor at Mossley, was because I am passionate about education and our school. As a governor, I seek to be a critical friend to the school to help Mossley move towards an outstanding Ofsted. I also want to ensure that we continue to work closely with parents and the school community to provide the best possible start in life for our learners.

I welcome feedback about how the governing body can improve and I can be contacted via the school office if you have any suggestions or email office@mossleyce.cheshire.sch.uk

I have been appointed as a Foundation Governor at Mossley School by the Parochial Church Council. I have lived in Congleton for thirty years with my husband Paul. Our daughter and son both attended Mossley School but are now adults living in Lancashire and Barcelona.

I have two children, one who previously attended Mossley Primary School and one who has just begun her Mossley journey in Reception.

Loretta Grace- Curriculum and pupil progress committee - Diocese Governor

I have just recently retired from as a Qualified Teacher of Visual Impairment which has followed on from a teaching career working extensively with those who have a special need or disability, as well as teaching music per se. I have taught in both specialist and mainstream schools and been an advisory teacher on visual impairment. I am a firm believer in pupils acquiring independence through good support strategies and am particularly concerned with the social and emotional wellbeing of pupils as part of their learning. Although retired, I continue to teach in a private capacity.

In keeping with my own Christian faith I come to Mossley CE Controlled School as a Foundation Governor where I can support the Christian ethos of the School. I am a member of the All Saints, Congleton Church, where you may see me either playing the piano or taking up other roles.

You may also have noticed me as the grandmother of two Mossley pupils, both of whom are now in High School.
