Meet the Governors

Peak Forest CE Primary School is part of the Woodland Federation of Peak district Schools and shares a governing body with  Great Hucklow CE Primary School and Stoney Middleton CE Primary School.  The governing body for the Woodland Federation of Peak District Schools consists of 13 governors; 2 Parent governors, 1 Ex-Officio governor, 2 Foundation governors,  1 Local Authority governor,  1 staff governor, 5 co-opted governors (2 of whom are staff members) and the executive headteacher. 

 

Our governors are drawn from a range of important stakeholders from our three schools - the parents, staff, church and local authority. They work very hard on behalf of the schools and often have a specific area that they monitor and help to develop. Governors are elected for a 4 year term of office. 

Nell Wakerley - Foundation Governor - Chair of Governors 

 

Hello, my name is Nell Wakerley and I have been a governor at The Woodland Federation of Peak District Schools since May 2015. I was elected as Chair of Governors in February 2020 and re-elected to the position in September 2021.

 

I am committed and very proud of our Federation and I enjoy working with Mrs Tomlinson and the Staff Team, Governors, Parents and Pupils as we all together strive to make The Woodland Federation the best it can be for each and every child.

 

I have three children, who are all pupils at the Federation attending Great Hucklow C of E Primary School. I work as a School Business Manager at another local school and I am also Chair of the management committee at Grindleford and Eyam Playgroup.
