Our Governors (ID 1191)

• Mick Brazier
  CHAIR OF GOVERNORS
  Mick Brazier

  My name is Mick Brazier.

  Areas of responsibility: Leadership & Management, Finance resource team, Safeguarding, Health and Safety, PE and Sports Premium and Website.

  I joined our governing body in November 2019.
  I have been lucky enough to be elected chair of our Governing body in September 2020 and again in March 2023.
  I have lived in the Dover area all my life. My background is in business having owned my own company for many years. I am now medically retired due to disability which means I have lots of time available to support our school in my role as a governor.
  I have more than 15 years of experience as a school governor in Primary and Special Schools and have previously served as chair of governors in two other schools.
  In my time as a governor I have had the opportunity to gain a wealth of knowledge about education and the way schools work, having gone through most situations than can arise within the school setting. I find being a school governor is extremely rewarding.

• Linda Lang
  VICE CHAIR (CO-OPTED GOVERNOR)
  Linda Lang

  Hello, my name is Linda Lang.

  Areas of responsibility: Quality of Education, Leadership and Management, Finance resource team, Pupil Premium (including Catch-up funding and Tutoring), SEND.

  I have been retired from full time work in the education sector for a few years and moved to Worth in 2018.

  Originally trained in primary education, I have also taught at secondary, post 16 and adult levels. However, after further training and qualifications, the majority of my career was spent in specialist work in the identification, habilitation and education of deaf infants, children and young people, the support of families and a range of educational settings. I was Head of Service for a Local Authority Advisory Team for Sensory Support. This involved multi agency working with Health Services and Social Services.

  After retiring I did some Quality Assurance work for Manchester University and was a Parish Councillor in Cornwall for some years before relocating to Worth.

  The continuing provision of high quality teaching for all the pupils in our school and the well- being of staff and pupils are the focus of my interest in Worth Primary.

  My other interests have included various sports, travel, theatre and amateur dramatics.

  HEADTEACHER GOVERNOR
  Katy Chance

  My name is Katy Chance and I feel very proud and privileged to be the Headteacher of Worth Primary School. I joined Worth Primary in April 2020 as Head of School and have recently been appointed Headteacher, September 2021.
  I am fully committed to ensuring that our pupils receive the best possible education, strengthened by putting each child's wellbeing at the forefront of their life learning.
  I have been in education for 22 years, bringing a wealth of experience but I know this has to be supported by a committed team of staff, which Worth Primary School certainly has. As a team we are able to fully support our school community in our wonderful small school!
