Blackgates

 Meet Our Local Advisory Board

I am currently a Vice Principal in a large 3 form entry Primary school.  I have had 12 years of SENCO experience and have built 2 successful Designated specialist provisions for children with Autism and Physical disabilities.  Blackgates shows a clear strength with SEND. 

I lead on Attendance, Early Years and Curriculum design. 

I am experienced in school improvement, analysis of data and keep up to date with key information relevant to my role in education, so this can be used to support in my governor role. 

I would like to invest my expertise to help Blackgates staff and children in the best way that I can. 

I am also a parent to twins in year 2 so I can support in the role of a parent too!  

Zoe Davison - Parent Representative 

I currently have 2 children at Blackgates Primary Academy and a child at Woodkirk Academy.

I believe that every child matters and deserves the chance to succeed and achieve their own individual abilities. I believe all children should receive equal opportunities in a safe and nurturing environment for them to thrive in.

I enjoy working alongside the Governors and Staff at Blackgates Primary Academy to ensure our children have the best Primary Education possible to prepare them for their next stage of life.

I am the chair of Blackgates Primary Academy PTFA, with a passion for supporting our school and local community.

I am usually around at the start and end of the school day if you have any questions or concerns.
