Welcome to our Governors’ section
Hello and welcome to the Governor’s page.
My name is Jenny Hand and I am the Chair of Governors as well as a parent governor. As the Governing Body of Chapel Allerton Primary School we are a small group of volunteers who work closely with the leadership team to set the vision for our school and to provide appropriate support and challenge to ensure the school continually improves. We meet regularly as a whole Board and in small sub committees as well as make visits to school to hear directly from the children.
Please find below the details of how our Governing body is structured, including our names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor. If you would like to get in touch with us or are interested in becoming a Governor then please contact our School Business manager at SBM@chapelallertonprimary.co.uk
Governor
I joined the governing board of Chapel Allerton Primary School in March 2025. As a resident of the local area, I am passionate about contributing to the community and supporting the school's growth and success. My background includes experience in education governance at a multi-academy trust in South Leeds, where I have gained valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities within the education sector.
Professionally, I am a lecturer at the University of Leeds, teaching in both the School of Politics and International Studies and the School of Education. Through my teaching and research in this role, I engage with a diverse range of students and colleagues, enriching my understanding of educational and pedagogical practices and policies.
I am excited to use my experience and knowledge to support Chapel Allerton Primary School in achieving its goals and continuing to provide excellent education to its students.
