Our Chair of Governors

It is a great privilege to be able to serve as Chair of Governors at Bolton St Catherine's Academy and to be part of the Bishop Fraser Trust.

I have worked in education for over 50 years, as a teacher, leader and coach in a range of schools and received my MBE for services to education in 2015. My passion is history, my own subject and I have loved having the opportunity to work with our pupils in developing a further love for this subject. 

As parents, you can rest assured that the governors at Bolton St Catherine's Academy are passionately committed to supporting the team to realise and enhance the life chances of every child, and to enable them all to succeed.

We are involved as much as possible in the day to day schooling of your children and what we see pleases us greatly:

• Pupils' faces reflecting the warmth and positivity of the corridors and classrooms.
• Confident young people wanting to progress and knowing what it takes to do so.
• Students taking the opportunity to thrive and grow into responsible citizens.
• Leaders relentless in the pursuit of excellence.
• Staff with high expectation giving their best for their students in a culture that has our values 'believe, strive, care and achieve' at its core.

As members of the Bishop Fraser Trust, we face the future in an atmosphere of trust and togetherness in which staff from across all the schools support each other on the road of continuous improvement. It is an ambitious goal and we, the governors, are proud to share that journey.
