Dani Gaines

Gill Leigh

With over three decades of experience in education, including roles as a classroom teacher, ICT advisor, and senior leader, I am passionate about supporting young people to thrive. Since 2012, I have been Headteacher at a primary school recognised for its inclusive approach and strong support for children with additional needs, particularly those with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges. I firmly believe in a child-centred approach, where behaviour is seen as a form of communication. Understanding the reasons behind behaviour, while setting clear boundaries, is key to helping children overcome barriers and achieve their full potential.  As a governor, I understand the importance of working strategically and bringing a supportive, yet questioning perspective to school improvement. I see this role as an opportunity to contribute to the local community in a meaningful way.

Tracie Ross

With a background in careers guidance, performing arts, and youth work, I am passionate about helping young people realise their potential. I currently work as a Careers Lead and am qualified to deliver Careers Information, Advice and Guidance. I have also led creative youth engagement projects, including large-scale theatre productions, to support hard-to-reach and NEET young people. My experience includes managing funded youth initiatives, supporting foster families, and helping young people transition into education, employment, or training. I have a strong belief in the power of creativity, connection, and opportunity to transform lives. I am proud to contribute to the school community as a governor.
