Sandra McCormack – Co-Opted Governor + Chair

•        Originally from the North East I moved to the midlands in the late 1980s. I was a frequent returnee to see close family and friends here settled here in Whittingham in 2019.
•        I worked for many years as a childcare social worker in local government and national charities before moving to national government programmes such as Sure Start, Childrens Centres and Early Help(0-19yr olds). In these roles I have worked with partners across the country and I now work on a freelance basis. 
•        I am a parent of adult children who are both involved in education and I love nothing more  than to get together with them my extended family and friends as often as possible
•        Throughout my career and my family life I have been totally committed to providing children with the best start in life and supporting families in doing so. I hope that I bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to the  role of  governor and chair
•        I hope to be able to be more visible around school as Covid19 restrictions lift but can always be contacted via school 
•        Something you might not know is that a few years ago, with much encouragement, support and cajoling of my daughter and my best friend I went from “Couch Potato to Half Marathon” and completed the Great North Run, enjoying it enough to do it again 2 years later.
