Governor Pen Portraits

  • Jaime Hughes - Trust Board School Link Liason

    I have been a Governor at Village Primary for 10 years. I have 3 children- all boys- who have all attended this school. I started as a Parent Governor when my eldest son was moving into Yr 2. He has recently left school and I have seen many changes over the years but one thing that remains, my immense pride to be part of our school to help shape the lives of our future community, to give our children aspirations and high expectations in life, so they truly believe they can be whatever they want to be when they grow up.

  • Erica Avison - Trust Board School Link Liason

    I am a Parent Governor and Vice Chair at Village Primary School.

    I have two Children who attend the school (although one for not much longer) and have seen my children grow, develop and learn every single day at school. I am passionate about supporting the school and all of the children and staff here at Village.
    I work in Human Resources and have done for 15 years; I bring my skills and experience in this field to the Governing Body.
    In my spare time I love to spend time with my family and friends.

  • Sean Davies - Head Teacher

    My name is Sean Davies and I have the pleasure to work with the governors as Head teacher. I have been involved with the governing body since 2012 when I was first appointed at Village Primary School. I enjoy working with governors to help facilitate effective, long-term school improvement, with children at the heart of everything that we do. Indeed, I am passionate about children being given the best quality education on offer to help them with their future happiness, career ambitions and to help towards social mobility. In terms of my educational philosophy, I believe that children are entitled to a broad and balanced curriculum of the highest standard where all children maximise the talents and skills that they need for the next stage of their lives. I believe that learning is best when it is hands on, closely modelled and built on outstanding relationships. At Village, we strive to provide children with a safe, stimulating and supportive environment where they can thrive. I have worked in schools in various capacities since 1999 and have worked as a teacher since 2004. Throughout my teaching career, I have worked predominantly in Stockton, but enjoyed spells in North Yorkshire and Redcar and Cleveland. This has given me a broad range of skills and useful experiences of working within different catchment areas.

    Having completed my National Professional Qualification for Headship in 2022, I am passionate about staff having access to high-quality professional development and training so that our children receive the very best pedagogy.

    I am a proud dad of two boys and a massive football fan. I like to spend my spare time watching Middlesbrough and getting out and about in our local area as a proud Teessider.

  • Rachel Wright - Staff Governor

    I have worked at the Village for 5 years and I am staff governor. I am passionate about supporting the school and strive to continually improve and provide a great environment for the children.
    I have a daughter and I enjoy spending time with her and doing arts and crafts. We also enjoy for going days out together.
