治理
Jolly Pett, Chair of Governors
Sally Simpson, Headteacher
我們擁有一支由非常敬業且技術嫻熟的志願者組成的團隊，他們擔任學校管理者，並將他們的努力集中在真正重要的事情上——改善每個孩子的教育和學生成果。
州長們挑戰並支持執行校長、校長和其他高級領導作為學校的關鍵戰略決策者和願景制定者。所有日常運營事務均由校長和教職員工負責。
州長起到至關重要的作用：
提高學校和學生的表現；
確保資源得到充分利用，為每個孩子提供盡可能最好的教育；
確保履行法定職責；
讓學校領導對提高學校表現負責。
治理結構
Eastbourne Swale 的所有初選都有一個地方管理機構 (LGB)。 LGB 聯席會議每學期舉行一次，來自 Langney 小學、Shinewater 小學、Parkland Infant School 和 Parkland Junior School 的代表參加。
州長角色和職責在學年開始時商定。鏈接州長然後監控所有四所學校的以下領域：
保障
領導影響
特殊教育需要條款
弱勢學習者的進步
健康和安全
課程
出勤率
戰略意圖
所有州長都與高級領導人進行戰略合作，以便：
確保清晰的願景、精神和戰略方向；
支持和加強學校領導；
為學校的自我評估做出貢獻並了解其優勢和劣勢；
監督學校發展計劃的進展情況；
確保履行法定職責並批准優先事項；
根據州長所需的技能和能力，對其技能進行定期審核，並積極尋求解決已發現的差距；
評估小組和個別州長正在進行的工作的影響。
金融焦點
地方管理機構召開會議，以便所有州長：
確保提供給學校的財政資源得到有效管理；
監督學生保費和其他資源的使用，以克服學習障礙，包括閱讀、寫作和數學；

Role:
Parent Governor/Chair
What's your favourite way to spend a free day?
My ideal day would be going on a trip with my children, being outdoors (as long as it's not too wet) or seeing something new.
What do you bring to Parkland?
I have worked on a lot of community projects over the years within some very different contexts. I bring experience from the youth work and children's care sector which struggle with a lot of the same issues that our schools struggle with.
Why did you become a governor?
I became a Governor to ensure that my kids got the best quality of education and so that I could make an impact upon this small close knit community. I want to ensure the best outcomes for all the young people at Parkland.
What are your hopes for Parkland?
Our school is a very diverse place with people who have very different life experiences. My hope is that Parkland gives them all the opportunity to be successful and happy human beings as well as giving them skills and strategies that will serve them into adulthood.

I love to walk along the seafront, have coffee with my friends and watch films.

Margaret Coleman
Name:
Margaret Coleman
Role:
Co-opted Governor
What is your favourite way to spend a free day?
My favourite way to spend the day is enjoying time with my grandchildren. We love cooking together and our speciality
is making chocolate brownies.
What do you bring to Parkland?
I have worked in East Sussex as a Primary Headteacher for the last 22 years. I have now retired but I continue to work part time as an Educational Consultant. I have experience of teaching in a small village school to leading in a large urban primary school. I have a special interest in Special Needs and Early Years Education.
Why did you become a governor?
Having worked as a headteacher, I am very aware of the role governors can have in supporting a school. I really enjoyed working with children and I wanted to continue to be involved with a school and use some of my experience to help. I had visited Parkland and it felt like the right place and the right time to volunteer as a governor.
What are your hopes for Parkland?
My hope for Parkland is that the school continues to be aspirational for all children and that it builds on the values of positivity, resilience, honesty, and co-operation. I hope that every child will have opportunities to thrive and develop their knowledge and skills so that they become lifelong learners.
Marion Ponting
Name:
Marion Ponting
Role:
Health and Safety Governor
What is your favourite way to spend a free day?
A day spent in the garden (in the sun!) is my favourite way to spend a free day. There is nothing nicer than pottering,
listening to the birds and feeling the sun on one's back.
What do you bring to Parkland?
I have been in education for many years and I have a large amount of experience and understanding of primary aged children, which I hope allows me to be a useful critical friend of the school.
Why did you become a governor?
Following retirement I felt that I still had a lot to offer a school and wished to continue to help enable children to achieve the best that they can.
What are your hopes for Parkland?
Having been at the school for a number of years now, I have seen the schools grow and flourish into inspiring and highly motivating environments. I have seen outstanding pastoral care for pupils and families and know that the wrap-around provision that continues to evolve in the schools will continue to grow. I hope that all children will realise the best outcomes that they can.
