My name is Lynn and I have the honour of being the Chair of Governors here at Chatsworth Primary School. My involvement with, my love of, and my commitment to Chatsworth goes back many years now and covers a variety of roles. I have been a Deputy Head Teacher at Chatsworth, a staff governor, and now Chair of Governors.
As a head teacher and a parent, I understand the importance of giving every child a quality education and that children should feel safe and nurtured on the most important first stages of their educational journey.
Our role, as governors, is to support and challenge the school to ensure that it is providing the best education possible for every child and to work with the school in a strategical capacity.
I always look forward to meeting your children on my visits to Chatsworth and hope that our paths will cross too.

I have been teaching here at Chatsworth for 7 years. Before this, I taught in Ealing but was so happy to be able to work in my home borough. It has been a joy to become a member of the Chatsworth community and I couldn’t feel more at home. I am very grateful to be able to teach in such a rich and vibrant school full of bright and funny young minds.
Outside of school, I am never happier than riding my bike, playing my guitar (Aria), reading a Terry Pratchett book or having fun with my two girls.

I am a Parent Governor at the school. My son has moved onto secondary school having been well prepared by his experience at Chatsworth and my daughter is currently in year 6.
I have a 25 year career in Local Government and have sat on both the Adult Safeguarding and Children’s Safeguarding Boards in several boroughs. I have also been involved in Emergency Planning and Business Continuity Planning. I have plenty of experience in managing budgets and recruiting and developing staff. Whilst we should focus on the children's academic development and aim for high standards I also believe children should be fully rounded young citizens; physically healthy and happy in their childhood.
