My name is Paul Lomas and I am one of the School governors. I have been a governor since the new school formed, having previously served on the governing body of Honley Junior School for three years.
It is a real privilege to be a governor. To engage in meaningful debate about children’s learning and see the passion and commitment the staff has for continuous improvement is uplifting. The teachers embrace challenge, and as governors we do challenge them at times. However, this professional dialogue is digested by the school and addressed where necessary.
I am the chair of the Standards and Effectiveness Committee which deals with all aspects of teaching and learning, including pupil outcomes and policies and procedures. The committee scrutinises data and supports the school in moving forward.
In my professional life, I work for Kirklees as an English and Literacy Consultant. This involves supporting schools with all aspects of literacy including reading, writing and grammar. I have worked extensively with Honley over the years, delivering training on reading, writing, grammar and curriculum development. I take great pleasure in reading the displayed writing, knowing that in some small way I have helped to shape the pupils’ success.
My daughter attended Honley School, and I have been delighted with the education she received; not just in terms of her SATs results, but with the holistic approach to learning that instilled her with confidence and provided her with many other opportunities to enrich her education.
In my spare time I like to do amateur dramatics with my daughter. I am an active member of Meltham Stage Company, having just performed in their pantomime Robin Hood. When my daughter was little, we bought a caravan and like nothing better than setting off for a weekend relaxing in the Peak district.
