Governing Body 

Meet the Governing Body:

 

Phil Borkett, Chair of Governors

I joined the governing body when actively involved in the local community as minister of a nearby church. Since retiring in 2020 I've had a bit more time to support various community initiatives in Sheffield but also, (when allowed) to enjoy getting out into the Peak District. I am chair of the Full Governing Body and Teaching and Learning Committee and am enthusiastic about governors and staff colleagues working together to give our children the best possible school experience at Norfolk Park.

Dr Jill LeBihan, Vice 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.

Penny Borkett, Co-opted Governor

I am a retired early years lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University. I worked for many years in early years practice as a teaching assistant, Portage worker and Special Educational Needs coordinator. I have also written a couple of books one relating to inclusion and cultural diversity and  the other Special Educational Needs in the early years. I enjoy baking,  yoga and spending time with my grandchildren when I have time to relax.

I have worked in SEND as a teacher and leader for over twenty years in Sheffield, London and the South East. I have been passionate about teacher development and ensuring that children and young people are well equipped to fully participate in the wider community.

I have been on the Teaching, Learning and Community committee and the Resources and Premises committee since 1/1/2023

Lindsay Newbould, Staff Governor

I have been teaching at Norfolk Park School for about 7 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.

Ganelle Griffiths, Parent Governor

I'm Ganelle and I am a mum to 3 amazing child age 16, 12 and 4 years old.
I have a degree in Nutrition,  health and Lifestyle and I am also a qualified level 6 Early Years Teacher and recently completed my level 1 and 2 in makaton.
Before I had my youngest child I was deputy manager at a nursery and an early years teacher working with children age 0-5 years. I have always  loved to work with children as I find it so rewarding watching them grow and develop and knowing you have helped them to reach their full potential as well as supporting families. 
In my spare time I love to go on walks especially in the countryside with my children, and love a good bike ride too. I love to spend lots of time outdoors as it is so great for mental health something which I am really passionate about. 
I love to socialise and have me time, watching movies and listening to a variety of music. 
With my youngest child having additional needs it has opened up my eyes to a new career path which I'm hoping to fulfil in the future as I love to work with families and help children where ever I can. 
I am a friendly,  bubbly , happy person who loves to bring joy to others.
