Governors

Welcome to our Governing Body

Chair of Governors

Wendy Prestwood

I have been involved in education since I qualified as a teacher in the late 1960s and have taught in and led several schools in the local area. I was Headteacher at Yarborough Primary School for ten years until I retired. Since then I have supported several schools, including Canon Peter hall, on an interim headship basis, working with the governors and staff to lead the school forward.

It is because of my previous involvement with Canon Peter Hall School that I was keen to join the governing body when the school became an academy, and to work with the newly appointed Headteacher.

I am married with three children and two grandchildren. I enjoy walking, reading and holidays in our caravan when time permits. I have current, up to date educational experience which I will bring to Canon Peter Hall School.

After all these years I still retain my enthusiasm and passion for enabling all pupils to achieve their very best and I look forward to seeing the school move from strength to strength.

I have been employed at Canon Peter Hall Primary School for ten years since joining the school as Assistant Headteacher in 2015. I have worked in a variety of different primary schools prior to this, gaining experience in all key stages. I have taken on many leadership roles including Assessment Leader, English Leader as well as Leader of Teaching and Learning.

As a mum to two young children, my weekends and school holidays are busy spending time with them: visiting playgrounds, baking, building Lego and walking.

I have a passion for enabling all pupils at Canon Peter Hall to achieve their very best and look forward to working with the govenerning body to fulfill our shared vision.

Staff Governor

Rebecca Brown

I have been teaching for over twenty years, gaining experience in all key stages. However, the majority of my career has been in the Early Years. I have led the Foundation Stages in two schools and worked with the Local Authority as a Teacher Moderator.

I started Canon Peter Hall in September 2016, as an Assistant Head Teacher and have since taken on the role of SENCO.

I am married with two children. I enjoy taking taking on creative projects, watching films and I am a keen gardener.

Being a governor will extend opportunities for my professional development by putting my skills to good use in a new context.
