Archdale School

Dr Jill LeBihan, Chair of Governors

In my professional life I am Head of Student Engagement at Sheffield Hallam University, with a strong interest in positive student experience. 

My academic background is in English Literature and Language, so I understand the importance of literacy and communication in education, but I also believe in reading for pleasure, and am committed to ensuring children have opportunities to explore the arts, music and broad creative expression. 

I work closely with the digital learning team at Sheffield Hallam and understand the possibilities this offers for education, but I am also fully aware of the risks to children and aim to support the school where I can in keeping the pupils safe.

Melanie Brunt, Staff Governor

 Lindsay Newbould, Staff Governor

I have been a teacher for 13 years. I lead on RE and Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural (SMSC) development within school. I ensure we reflect learning around a variety of different faiths, traditions and festivals and find a multi-sensory approach works well.

I have been involved in developments in school around  the new curriculum, engagement, music and assemblies.

Music should be so prominent in school as it is inclusive and accessible and brings out so much joy in the children.

Outside of school my  own passion is music: I play the cornet and am a member of the Chapeltown Brass Band.   I also play in school sometimes and I also sing for weddings, parties and just for my own pleasure.

Everyone matters, and we all deserve the chance to become the best self we
