Governor Pen Portraits

Jackie Oakes

I’ve been a Foundation Governor at St Bega’s since 2015, and before that was involved in running the Eskdale Nursery before it joined up with St Bega’s. My two children attended St Bega’s, and being a governor is a way for me to help support the school which does so much for our local children and families. I’m an HR Manager at Sellafield, and possibly as a result of that, I have a particular interest in supporting school staff welfare. I’m also training to become a priest in the Church of England, and this, together with my Foundation Governor role means that I work to develop the Christian ethos of St Bega’s and to maintain links with the church. I particularly value the emphasis which St Bega’s has on supporting all children to develop in a very rounded way. We recently refreshed the school mission statement and it’s worth having a look at that on the website as a summary of what we’re all about! I’m also on the Board of Trustees at Westlakes Multi Academy Trust, which as a group of non-church schools gives me the opportunity to reflect on the differences and share ideas.
