School Governors

Our school is proud to be part of Crofty Education Trust, the governance of which is the responsibility of a Board of Trustees – chaired by Mr Mike Hosking.

Crofty Governance – Crofty Education Trust

Our school has a Local Governance Committee (LGC) – this is a committee of the Board of Trustees. Our Local Governors are all volunteers and have an important role in supporting and challenging our school leaders to achieve the best possible outcomes for every child in the school.

Governors are responsible for monitoring the schools’ arrangements for Safeguarding and progress towards their School Development Plan. Governors do this by speaking with pupils and staff and by receiving regular reports from both the Headteacher and the Trust about their progress.

Governors also have a responsibility for engaging with stakeholders – parents, pupils and staff – so a range of views can help shape the future of everyone within the wider Crofty Education Trust community.

If you are interested in becoming a governor at one of our schools, please contact our Governance Coordinator: Contact – Crofty Education Trust

Meet the Governors

Mrs K Monk – Chair of Governors

I am a mother of three children, two of which have been /are at Treloweth which has given me the opportunity to be fully involved in the daily activities within the school. As I’m always doing the school run I have met lots of parents and children, and have developed some great friendships over the years. I am  a qualified nurse and have worked RCHT and at St. Julia’s Hospice,  which has given me great experiences and an understanding of different lifestyles.

I feel passionate about my children’s education and that of others which first led me to become a governor at Treloweth. Through my first term of office I gained experience and knowledge which led me to become Chair of Governors when we became a trust in 2013. I have been very involved in the running of the school and feel the passion and dedication of all the staff at Treloweth is outstanding. I love the open policy of Treloweth and fully support this and am always available for a chat or to offer advice to any parents. I look forward to being involved in the ongoing journey of Treloweth for a long time to come.

I am the Safeguarding Governor and the Governor responsible for budget monitoring. (kerrie.monk@croftymat.org)

 

Eleanor Glanville  –  Local Governor

I am a mum of 2 boys, who both thoroughly enjoy their time at Treloweth. My eldest has moved up to secondary school and my youngest is in his final primary year.

As a parent governor, my areas of responsibility are Staff Wellbeing & Development and Stakeholder Engagement.

I grew up in Illogan and, since returning to the village, I see how important the school is as a community hub.

I’m a software developer & analyst by profession. Increasing family care responsibilities necessitated a move to freelance work.

I have a deep interest in psychology, child development and human behaviour. Experiencing childhood alongside my children and their friends has given me a real drive to be a better communicator.

I also volunteer as a Carn Brea parish councillor. I am enjoying the opportunity to learn more about the challenges and successes experienced by the wider community.

For relaxation, I enjoy being in, on or by the sea, gardening and baking.

Rebecca Gadsby – Parent Governor

I am a mum to a little girl starting out her school journey at Treloweth and she seems to be enjoying it very much.
I live in Illogan with my family and appreciate how important the schools are to the local community, and can remember how important the school experience is for us growing up and how that these years really shape us into the adults we become so want this to be a positive experience for all the pupils, parents and staff alike.
I am a qualified social housing professional working for a local housing association giving me a wide range of experience including challenging situations and in also seeing the effects on people and businesses due to the ever changing world we are all living in today.
I enjoy planning things whether it’s a party, fundraiser or trip away so look forward to utilising these skills for the benefit of the school, pupils and families.
I enjoy where we live being by the sea and countryside and spending time with my family and our dogs and have been renovating our home so have turned my hand to be painter, cleaner and builder not to mention cook and be mum too so it’s been a busy couple of years which is now beginning ease off so I am ready for the exciting challenges ahead being a parent governor.
