Governor Profiles

Lindey Webb

I am Headteacher and Governor at The Brow C.P. School. I have been Headteacher since 2014, but have worked at The Brow since 2002. I first joined the Governing Board in 2013 when appointed as a staff governor.

I am a trained primary teacher and my degree is in Psychology, so I have a passion for learning, understanding children’s behaviour and their physical and emotional development. Having worked at The Brow for many years, I have been fortunate enough to build positive relationships with families, professionals and local agencies within the community.

I thoroughly enjoy my work in school and as a member of the Governing Board. Our team approach is something which is very important to me and is instrumental in supporting and challenging each other to ensure that we provide the best possible outcomes for all children.

Jill Jones

I am Deputy Headteacher and SENCO at The Brow. I teach in the Key Stage 2 Resource Base and I am an Associate Governor. I have worked at the Brow since 2010. When I first joined I was appointed as SENCO and Resource Base Teacher. I have a keen interest in educational research and I am passionate about improving mental health and well-being. I am also Maths and Phonics lead for school and the Deputy Designated Safeguarding lead.

I have been a teacher for 18 years and I have worked in Liverpool and for Halton LA.

I love working at the Brow and being an associate governor means that I can contribute to all aspects of school life.

I have worked as a Teaching Assistant at The Brow C.P school for over 14 years and I was first appointed as Staff Governor in November 2013. I am currently the Wellbeing Governor alongside Jackie Costello. I also monitor our school website compliance and Governor trainint.  

My role within school has developed and grown over the years. I am currently working as part of the Pastoral team alongside our Family Support Worker, Sarah Geraghty. Previously I have been Nurture lead, classroom TA, and led mental health and wellbeing interventions. I thoroughly enjoy my role and I am extremely committed to providing the highest levels of pastoral support to our children and families. I fully understand the importance of a nurturing approach for the development of the children’s emotional wellbeing.  I love making a difference in the children’s lives and giving them the skills to help them grow.

I enjoy being part of a hardworking team who are all passionate about helping our children be the best that they can be.
