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." |
Tim Harwood Vice Chair of the Local Monitoring Council |
| "I have been teaching since 2000 predominantly in Early Years and some in Key Stage 1. Recently I have become a Deputy Headteacher within a primary school in a local academy, but my passion is still ensuring that the early stages of a child’s education are as strong as they can be, to give them the best possible start. After working on a project with the Senior Leadership team and staff at The Oaks, I was excited to have the opportunity to become a LMC representative as I think the ethos of the school is great, and I am looking forward to working as part of the team. I hope my experience provides me with the background to both support and ask challenging questions in my time within the school." |

Tom Manktelow Parent Representative |
"I am a Dad of three girls, my oldest started at The Oaks in September 2019 and my three year old will start nursery in September 2020. I have spent my career in business and global digital sales but originally my degree is in Biology. To me, capturing a love for education in the first few years will set you up for life. I was a passionate scout leader for 15 years and I believe in guiding a well rounded and diverse approach to education." |
Emma Borthwick Parent Representative |
