Our Federation Governors

The Woodland Federation of Peak District Schools are collaborating with Stoney Middleton CE Primary School, resulting in two governing bodies.  Please see below for details of the governors linked to our schools and their roles.

The Woodland Federation of Peak District Schools

The governing body for the Woodland Federation of Peak District Schools consists of 13 governors; 2 Parent governors, 1 Ex-Officio governor, 2 Foundation governors,  1 Local Authority governor,  1 staff governor, 5 co-opted governors (1 of whom are staff members) and the executive headteacher. 

Our governors are drawn from a range of important stakeholders from our three schools - the parents, staff, church and local authority. They work very hard on behalf of the schools and often have a specific area that they monitor and help to develop. Governors are elected for a 4 year term of office. 

Nell Wakerley - Foundation Governor - Chair of Governors, Named Governor for Wellbeing (including Safeguarding)

Hello, my name is Nell Wakerley and I have been a governor at The Woodland Federation of Peak District Schools since May 2015. I was first elected as Chair of Governors in February 2020. 

I am committed and very proud of our Federation and I enjoy working with Mrs Tomlinson and the Staff Team, Governors, Parents and Pupils as we all together strive to make The Woodland Federation the best it can be for each and every child.

I have three children, one of whom attends Great Hucklow C of E Primary School. I work as a School Business Manager at another local school and I am also Chair of the management committee at Grindleford and Eyam Playgroup.
