Meet Our Governors
Kate Steventon
Chair of Governors
My name is Kate Steventon and I’m a member of the Arley Local Governing Committee. I am the Chair of the committee and I have responsibility for looking at the impact of Leadership in school. As part of this I look at reports, data about how pupils do with assessments, meet with staff, look at the pupils work, and (my favourite bit) talk to the children.
I visit the school regularly so I can see how the school works, and get to know the staff and some pupils.
I was a primary school teacher for 18 years and I now I work with parents helping them understand more the primary school curriculum, child development and parenting.
I have two of my own children – now in year 12 and year 10. Both went to an IET Primary School. I have been a volunteer and school governor in other schools that are part of Inspire Education Trust and I enjoy spending time at Arley and seeing the children succeed.
Arley Primary Academy is part of Inspire Education Trust. The Governance Structure can be viewed here on the Inspire Education Trust website.
