Chair of Governors - Mrs A Barrow

I started my Governor ‘life’ at Buckshaw Primary as a parent governor when my children attended the school. They thoroughly enjoyed school life, the staff, the other pupils, the work and all the other activities which school provided, and I can say, hand on heart, that they thrived here at Buckshaw.

My working background has always been in accounting and finance within a manufacturing environment and not education, which I believe allows me to view the school’s strategic position with a different set of eyes.

As a governor, I am passionate in supporting Buckshaw to grow and thrive to be the best primary school it can be in all aspects of school life.

Vice Chair of Governors - Ms K Forrester

I joined the Governing Body in August 2023.  During this time I have been involved in the recruitment process for senior members of staff and am the school's Wellbeing Governor.  I was elected Vice-Chair of Governors during the Spring Term of 2026.

Local Authority Governor - Mr F Nelson

After a long career in school finance and experience in a variety of schools across the North West, it is a pleasure to work with a happy and ambitious school such as Buckshaw Primary School.  I come into school most weeks to listen to the children read and provide support as a volunteer on many of the school trips.
