I have been teaching for 14 years and have held roles leading KS2, Maths, PE and music. In 2018, I delivered training in China to primary teachers delivering a more collaborative approach to teaching. I have been working at Leigh CE since December 2018, where I worked in Y1/2 after I moved from Leicester back to Leigh. I then made the jump to Year 5 and then Year 6 and I now work alongside Mr Greaves and Miss Brown in Year 5/6. I am the maths lead working closely with the Maths Hub to ensure quality teaching and learning across the school.

  Mr Adam Holton

I have worked within Family Health and Wellbeing for over 10 years, particularly here in Wigan & Leigh, supporting children, young people and families create healthy habits for life. I have a strong passion and desire to create a healthy and happy environment plus providing opportunities for all to succeed.

I’m delighted to play  a part in harnessing the schools values and contributing to these moving forward.

Away from work, I am an avid sports fan, and occasionally participate in football & golf in any spare time I can find after taking the dog for a walk and looking after my own children.

Chair of Governors

I was appointed as a Governor of Leigh CE Primary School in April 2021. I volunteered for this position as I was proud of the developments the school was making and felt I had the time, drive and personal experience to help the school further on this journey. I share the school's vision of raising children's aspirations as I believe this is so important for the future generations of Leigh. 

I have worked in supporting and managerial roles within various educational establishments throughout my working life. I currently work in Medical Education for the NHS.

I have worked in the IT industry for over thirty years as a programmer, systems analyst, project manager, team leader, implementer and troubleshooter. I try to use the analytical skills developed over the years in the governor role. I have been a scout leader for over thirty-five years so know the challenges of working with children as well as the rewards that this can bring. As a former Group Scout Leader I also have experience of dealing with the management of adults. I was raised in Atherton and lived in Leigh for over twenty years, regularly attending St.John the Evangelist church before its closure. Having moved back to Atherton I now worship at St.John the Baptist, which most people know a Atherton Parish Church. I played rugby for over thirty years for Atherton RUFC, Leigh RUFC and at Bradford University. Also, I have been known to play the odd game or two of cricket and occasional round of golf. I have been a keen supporter of Leigh Centurions since the 1970s - a true 'leyther'.

I have worked in the Civil Service for over 20 years and having been raised and always lived in Leigh want to give something back to my community. 

Having always worked in public service and highly valuing the positive impact which education can have on a child’s early life, joining the governing body is a great opportunity to contribute to the school’s vision of ‘Creating a Better Future

I am a mother of three beautiful children , two girls and one boy. I am self employed, in a role that I thoroughly enjoy and I have a background in childcare . I am also an artist which I find rewarding and therapeutic, although this has taken a back seat due to family life and work . I am passionate about children’s education and the importance of nurturing our children to enable them to become the best version of themselves. I am also a big believer in the importance of diversity and inclusion .
