My name is Andy Moffat and I have been a Governor at Wheatfields School since 2012, originally as a Parent Governor and now as a Co-opted Governor.  I originally put myself forward as a Governor to offer my background in local government, and experience and skills in performance and financial management in particular.  I wanted to do what I could to ensure that all children at the school had the opportunity to fulfil their potential in all aspects of school life, not just academically, and that remains my motivation.

I started as a Parent Governor at Wheatfields Primary School in April 2024.
 
My daughter is moving into Key Stage 2 and I am passionate about making a positive impact on her education, knowing the importance of establishing firm foundations for all our children's future.
 
I am looking forward to supporting the school: children, teachers and senior leaders, to create an environment where children thrive and develop a love of learning. 
 
Memories for our primary school days last a lifetime.
 
Aside to this, in my career outside of school I work as a Senior Manager in the Automotive Industry, which has given me great experience in leadership, communication and relationship building amongst other things.  Skills that I hope will help benefit the staff and children moving forward.

I’ve been a parent at the school since 2021 and joined the Governing Body as a Parent Governor in 2024. I have two children in the primary school and one in preschool and felt I was in a good position to offer a broad view across the school.  

I currently run my own business offering administrative services to small businesses and felt the skills I’ve learnt along the way could help support the school to offer children the best possible experience at Wheatfields, both academically and socially.

I have very fond memories of being a Wheatfields’ pupil and am grateful for the opportunity to give back to the school and local community in this role.  

As a staff member at Wheatfields for the past six years, I feel that it is vital that a voice from working members of staff is heard on the governing body.

I have been in education, in various roles, for over 24 years and have seen much change. I want to ensure that the one thing that doesn’t change is that the children are at the centre of every decision that is made. It is also vital, however, that the wellbeing of all staff is considered in every decision too.

As SEMH lead for the school, I aim to safeguard and promote children’s wellbeing and mental health: supporting both the child and their families by offering advice and signposting where appropriate.

My name is Emma Verney-Davies and I am Headteacher of Wheatfields Primary School. As Headteacher, I sit on every committee. I am responsible for the operational, day to day running of the school and the Governing Body support me in the strategic development of the school.
