About our Governors
Laura Carruthers
Jake Fisher
I'm extremely proud to work for Monteney Primary. Having started my career here and developed as a teacher here, I am really proud to be part of the Monteney team and community. I have a passion for sport and activity in school and love seeing children taking risks, achieving their goals and celebrating their successes. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I'm a member of Shiregreen Community Centre and take a role in the organising of events alongside running the weekly youth group. I also really enjoy participating in and watching sports in particular Sheffield Wednesday.
Clare Hayes
I am incredibly proud to be the Principal here at Monteney and a member of the Monteney Governing Body. I have worked at Monteney since September 2003 and have been the Principal since September 2013 and as a result feel extremely committed to the school and community. When I'm not at school, I love spending time with my family, particularly being a "Soccer Mum" , watching both my children, Harry and Meredith, play football. I also enjoy taking our dog, Floss, for walks. I try to keep fit by playing netball twice a week too.
Rebecca Howell
Rebecca is Governance, Compliance and Development Manager for SCSP. She was previously Director of the DME Trust and Senior Education Consultant at Potential Plus UK, both national education charities. She is also a trustee of the 5 Dimensions Trust and was previously Chair of Governors of a large secondary school.
Emma May
I have been a parent governor at Monteney for a year now. My role as a governor is to support the EYFS. I also now work within FS2 as a playworker and 1-1 support. When not at work I spend my time with my 4 year old little boy, going on many adventures with him and watching him swim.
Sarah Turton
I am a member of the Monteney Governing Body as Chairperson and Parent Governor. As part of the Governors I serve as a link between the Governing Body and SEND, Safeguarding, Disadvantaged Outcomes for Vulnerable Learners and Computing CLT . I have worked at Longley Park Sixth Form College for 9 years where I teach ICT and Business. Prior to this, a secondary school for 8 years. I teach many different levels of students, supporting them to ensure that they reach their full potential ready to move onto University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching films and spending time with my family and friends. Being part of the Governing body for so long is my way of giving back something to the school that will have taught all 3 of my children, making them into the amazing learners that they all are.
Any correspondence for the governing body should be sent directly to the school for the attention of The Chair of Governors, Sarah Turton
