Toni Brookshaw - Co-opted Governor - Chair of Governors

Link Governor to Year 5

I joined Willaston's Board of Governors in March 2017 and have recently been voted in as Chair of Governors.  I am currently a member of the Resources and Curriculum Committees and have a special responsibility for the Development of Newly Qualified Teachers (NQT's). 

I have 15 years experience in education, across a variety of settings.  I am a qualified secondary school teacher, teaching History and Politics.  I started my career working in a school emerging from special measures, a challenge that was rewarding and from which I learnt a great deal.  I now work in a local Cheshire East school, that was rated Outstanding by OfSTED in 2015-2016. 

I was secretary of Willaston Pre-School Committee from 2011-2017.  During this time, this wonderful institution was also rated 'Outstanding' by OfSTED.  This gave me a great deal of knowledge about issues within EYFS, as well as a keen interest in primary education.  Both of my children attend Wilaston Primary Academy and I am committed to securing the vision and ethos of the school.  I welcome all conversation with fellow parents and am on the playground a few days a week should anyone want to chat.
