Chris became a parent governor at the end of 2022 as he hoped he could add some value to the governors' team and the school in their aims to continually improve the school and outcomes for the students. Chris has twins in year 2, and has really enjoyed the start to the role. He is currently an Assistant Headteacher at a school for secondary-aged students with social, emotional and mental health issues in Sandwell, and hopes to bring some of his experience and knowledge to the table to support Mrs. Higgins and her team. 

Outside of school, he has a love of football and has been a referee for 25 years, currently acting as an Assistant Referee in the EFL. He enjoys most sports, eating out and generally trying his best to occasionally be in charge in his household!!!

Rachel has been the Headteacher of Nunnery Wood Primary School since September 2015, and feels she is very fortunate to have a Governing Body that is so committed to the continual improvement of our school. Doing the best for pupils is at the heart of all decision-making, and we work hard together to ensure we provide the best education for all children.

Therefore, as part of the Governing Body, Rachel provides relevant information. She is held to account for actions taken and works with the Governing Body to effectively self-evaluate our school and consider the impact of the actions that are taken.

Beth has been a parent governor since July 2016, and she sits on two committees (Finance and Staffing and Safeguarding and SEND).  She is also the nominated Safeguarding Governor. Beth has one son who attends this school. She works for Worcestershire County Council on various data collections within education, including the statutory School Census, which is the main data source by which schools are funded by the Department for Education. As a governor, Beth wants to bring her working knowledge and experience to the direct benefit of the school. Beth cares deeply that pupils at Nunnery Wood Primary receive a high-quality education that enables them all to reach their full potential, and that they receive the best possible experiences from their time at the school.
