Julia Youens Chair of the Local Monitoring Council |
"I am a mum of two boys, both of whom have attended The Oaks. My career and passion is sport and getting young people interested and involved with PE and School Sport. I run my own Education company working with teachers, young people and sports coaches to 'learn through sport'. I hope that I can bring a parent's perspective to the Local Monitoring Council, as well as support using my 'educational' background." |

Rebecca Christian Parent Representative |
"I am a mum of two, my youngest son attends The Oaks and is very happy there. I have a degree in Youth Justice. I have spent my career in the Prison Service, most recently as a Governor in the Youth Custody Service, working with 15-18 year old boys. I have an interest in evidenced based practice and ensuring we are following the best possible path available when it comes to the education and development of our children." |
Irene Nhandara Parent Representative |
"Soon to be a mum of 4, I have children of varying ages and have seen the changes in education since my first born started school in 2008. I felt this was the right time to be involved as parent governor to support The Oaks community. I work for the NHS and have done so for almost 20 years in various non-clinical roles, following completion of a BSc in Psychology and Applied Sociology." |
Laura Kierans Parent Representative |
''I am a parent whose daughter attends The Oaks Nursery but also a primary school teacher in another local school. For me, being able to support the school with my teaching experience but also see things from a parents perspective is one of the biggest factors for me joining the Local Monitoring Council.'' |
