Meet our Governors
Parent Governor
Mrs Jade McBrearty
I have worked in the Banking industry for 17 years, retail Branch based and covered many roles throughout my career, including counter management , customer services and personal banking!
My children attend St Paul’s Catholic Primary school and after the birth of my 3rd child and the closer of my bank branch I took a change in career, I began my governor journey as well as becoming a freelance PA.
Becoming a Governor has allowed me to play a part in improving outcomes for young children and give me a chance to make an important contribution to the school and support with the great work they are doing to make St Paul’s a safe and happy place for the pupils, Staff and their families.
During my time as a governor I have seen the hard work and determination that goes in to the school by all the staff and I am proud to now be a part of it.
Parent Governor
Miss Ngozi Onyejeli
I have over 22 years of experience working in the public and private sectors, both in the UK and abroad. I joined the UK Higher Education in 2009 as an Associate Lecturer and have since held many roles, including Programme Manager and Campus Lead. I come from a strong academic family, with both parents being lecturers in HE. My experience and education are mainly in the area of Human Resource Management and Employment Law. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Benin in Nigeria and an MBA from the University of Aberdeen with another Master's from Middlesex University. I’ve recently resumed my PhD studies at the University of Salford after a few years of break. I have a strong passion for teaching and learning but with no experience in primary/secondary education, as all my academic teaching was within HE. However, my child attends St Paul’s Catholic Primary School, so I have a vested interest in supporting the school to ensure that it provides a safe, supportive and inclusive education space for all children to thrive and be set up for their future.
Co-opted Governor
Mrs Sally Beckford
For over 20 years I worked in the private sector in mainly operational and strategic HR roles. I have been apart of the St Paul's wider community for the last 18 years and have been apart of the school community for the past 14 years. I have held various roles within St Pauls such as, parent, member of the parents' association, Parent Governor, Foundation Goevrnor and now I am the Office Manager and Designated Safeguarding Person.
I feel very lucky to work and be apart of the governoring body for St Paul'. St Paul's is a very special community and I enjoy being able to support the Leadership team of the school ensure that our school continues to be a place of learning and a place of love.
