ANDY MORRIS

I am delighted and proud to serve as Chair of Governors at a school that holds a very special place in my heart, having welcomed many children of my family and friends over the years.

I was born in Lincolnshire and have lived here all my life, including in the local area for the past 24 years. Throughout my professional career, I have worked extensively with children and young people. In my current role within the local authority, I lead services dedicated to supporting children and young people’s wellbeing, helping them overcome barriers and achieve their full potential.

 I also have a strong passion for the arts and believe that creativity and self-expression play an important part in children’s development, confidence and sense of identity. I am dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to be themselves, discover their strengths and thrive.

As Chair of Governors, I am committed to working in partnership with school leaders, staff, fellow governors, families, children and the wider community. I look forward to supporting the school as it continues to grow and develop, ensuring we remain ambitious for every child and ensure they have the opportunity to succeed.

This is my third academic year as a local governor of your academy. I have a responsibility for Careers Education.

I am delighted that the most recent Ofsted Report comments on how hard the school has worked in recent years to improve the curriculum. “The school provides an ambitious curriculum for all pupils” (Ofsted 10/11/2023).

As an experienced governor and with a professional background in education I look forward to continuing to support the school. The development of Careers Education at this stage is important to secure learning opportunities and pupil and parent focus.

I thoroughly enjoy the wider life of the school and have recently joined classes visiting Magna Science Park, Whisby Outdoor Centre, a challenging Art lesson at Pembroke and some excellent inclusive performances.

I have been a Governor at Cherry Willingham Primary School for nearly four years and have had the privilege of witnessing the school’s continued growth and success under the leadership of an exceptional Head Teacher. During this time, the school has gone from strength to strength, culminating in its 2023 Ofsted inspection, where it was rated Good in four of the five inspection areas and Outstanding in one. This achievement reflects the dedication, hard work, and commitment of the teaching and support staff, supported by an engaged and effective Governing Body.

The recent introduction of the SEND Hub is a particularly exciting development, further enhancing the school's ability to support pupils and families within the local community. I am proud to be part of a governing team that is committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential.

I look forward to continuing to support the school in the years ahead and to seeing this outstanding institution build on its successes as it continues to grow, develop, and serve its community.
