Governors

What is an Interim Executive Board (IEB) ?

Section 65 of the 2006 Act enables the Local Authority to apply to the Secretary of State for consent to constitute the governing body as an IEB in accordance with Schedule 6 to the 2006 Act. The secretary of state has now approved the appointment of the Interim Executive Board at Broughton Moor Primary School.

 The IEB is a relatively small group, with strong educational and governance expertise. The purpose of the Interim Executive Board (IEB) is to provide interim expertise and high quality governance to secure a sound basis for future improvement in the school, including the promotion of sound governance and high standards of educational achievement.

You will find below details of the IEB members and if at any time you wish to raise any issues with the board you can do so by contacting the Chair of the IEB through the school office.

My original training was in Outdoor Education and Primary Teaching and I worked locally as a teacher before taking a break to have my children.

I have been an elected parent governor for the past  6 years and am currently Chair of the governing board at a local school. My main areas of interest as a governor are the Curriculum, Data,  Safeguarding and SEND

Sam Kidd

My name is Samantha Kidd and I am currently Service Manager for Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and Inclusion for Cumberland Council. I have worked in Cumberland for the past thirty four years and in that time have worked for the Local Authority but for the majority of time have worked in schools. I have been a Headteacher of five schools – all in Cumberland. These included a Junior School, three primary schools and a special school. Two of the three primary schools were strategically resourced provision for the Local Authority. I was a National Leader of Education and have worked as a General Advisor for the Local Authority also. Outside of school, I am married and I have four children and five grandchildren, as well as two lively dogs. I love nothing more than spending time with family.

My name is Angela Quirk, and I am currently Senior Advisor for Cumberland Council with the Learning Improvement Service. More recently I was Executive Head teacher of two schools in Workington. I have worked in schools for over 20 years, and I love working with children, families, and staff.

Over the course of my career, I have also been part of two governing bodies and worked alongside numerous schools. My passion is to ensure every child enjoys school and receives a good quality of education allowing them to reach their full potential.

In my personal time I enjoy taking my 11-year-old to his football matches and training. I have a very energetic working cocker spaniel who loves to go walking on the fells. I am looking forward to working with Broughton Moor Primary school and meeting the children and families.
