Our Governors
About the Governing Body
The Governors are the formal strategic body who meet at least once each term to set priorities for the school and agree on the long term plans including the school budget.
They agree the vision, ethos and strategic direction for the school including policy and procedures, with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement and pastoral care.
Specific duties include agreeing the school budget, setting staffing levels, ensuring that a broad and balanced curriculum is delivered whilst ensuring that management of the school premises is given high priority which includes monitoring the health and safety of pupils, staff and visitors.
The Governing Body is made up of parent governors, elected by the parents of pupils at the school, staff governors including the Headteacher, Local Authority appointed Governors and Community Governors. The team is made up of a variety of people from different backgrounds, but who all share the passionate belief that Leasowe Primary School should be a happy and successful school where every child is given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
The Governing Body has four sub-committees which meet at least once each term: Finance, Pay and Personnel, Health and Safety, Premises and Curriculum. These committees report actions/recommendations to the full Governing Body which also meets at least once a term.
Contacting Governors
If you would like to contact any of our Governors please send a letter for their attention via the School Office.
Parents are asked to put their requests or complaints in writing to the Governing Body; most Governors are not based in school and generally only meet formally once each term.
If you have any questions about our Governing Body, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs J Hathaway (Our school Business Manager). Our Governors are volunteers from the community who work together to ensure that the school is well managed. The Headteacher and staff representatives are also members of the Governing Body.

Governor Profiles
Sue Euers - Chair of The Governing Body
I started as a parent Governor at Leasowe Primary School, when my two sons attended the school. Once they left I became a co-opted governor and vice chair. I am also the chair of the Curriculum Committee and link governor for SEND.
My professional background is in Business Administration, but my passion has always been teaching. I decided to retrain and for the last 12 years, I have been a driving instructor and run my own driving school. I am also a Beaver Leader at a scout group in Wallasey have been for the last 30 years.
As a governor at Leasowe Primary, I have been involved in appointing the new Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. I feel privileged to be involved in supporting and challenging the school, in striving to be an inclusive community who learn and grow together. I believe that Leasowe Primary School should be a happy and successful school where every child is given the opportunities to reach their full potential.
Sue Tyler - Ross - Co-Opted Governor
I have been involved with Leasowe Primary School for a very long time. I have lived in Leasowe all my life. My three boys (the oldest now being 24!) attended this school and they have now all gone on to be extremely successful in secondary school, college and the work place. I believe that this school lay the bedrock for their education and ensured they had a love for learning and the confidence to take their part in the world. Their place here led to my first role at LPS, which was as a Parent Governor. I took up this role over eight years ago and have played several roles on the governing body since, including Staff and now Co-Opted Governor.
I became a staff member over five years ago and for most of that time have worked as a teacher in our Resourced Provision, a role I am very proud and passionate about. This year however, I have taken up a new role of teaching Science throughout the school and I am aiming to provide all children with an up to date and progressive Science Curriculum and hopefully nurture some scientists of the future!
I am very proud to be part of the Leasowe community and I sincerely believe that our school is at the centre of it. I am very passionate and dedicated in serving our school as a Governor and helping to make Leasowe Primary School a happy, safe and successful place to learn.
Stacy Shaw - Vice Chair of Governors
My name is Stacy Shaw and I have lived in the Leasowe community for most of my life. I’ve worked in the community for Leasowe Development Trust and for many years taught dance to the children in the Leasowe community.
Although I am no longer working in these roles, I do still enjoy volunteering within the Leasowe community and school. I have been a parent governor since September 2018. I have 3 three children at Leasowe Primary School currently but when I started as a parent governor, I did have six children at Leasowe. All have excelled here and my older three children are doing amazingly at high school. I fully enjoy my role as Vice Chair of Governors.
