Governors
My name is Ruth Westbrook and I was appointed as the Chairperson of Holbrook Primary School’s Governing Body in April 2014.
I am retired now but have worked in education all my working life including 18 years as the headteacher of a Coventry school. Most recently, I have worked with a number of schools across The Midlands, helping them to improve. I have grown-up children and four grandchildren, all of whom maintain my keen interest in children’s learning. I live near the school, and am very pleased to be able to serve such a good school in my local community.
Governors get to know the school well and are keen to ensure that the education provided for all our pupils is of the highest quality. We check that policies and procedures are in place to keep pupils safe and ensure that all our pupils achieve as well as they possibly can.
