Governors
Message from the Chair of Governors
On behalf of the Governing Body, a warm welcome to Oldfleet Primary School.
Here, governors, staff, parents and children work as a team, and we understand that communication is vitally important when working together. I hope that this website provides some useful information and a sense of life at Oldfleet Primary School.
The team of governors are volunteers who give their time to ensure that the long-term vision and school policies are followed carefully to ensure that the children are inspired to learn in a safe, happy, creative and challenging environment. The Governing Body has a range of duties and responsibilities to enable them to hold the senior leaders to account, seek external views of the school and use a range of information to set the strategic direction. Parent governors are a very important part of our team.
If you are interested in becoming a governor or would like to contact us, we would be very happy to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Chris Storr

Governors 2025-26
Chris Storr
Role: Chair of Governors
Business Interests: None
My roots are in East Hull, I was born here, went to school here and spent 37 years out of a teaching career of 41 working in local schools. I started volunteering as a governor in 2013 and am now on 3 governing bodies, /I am learning all the time and enjoy working hard for young children and their families. I currently look after my grandchildren three days per week; the eldest attends a primary school, and this certainly gives me a greater insight into a parent/ carer's perspective.

Hello, I’m Jane Armitage, Assistant Head Teacher and SENCO at Nursery School based in the East Riding. I bring over 20 years of experience working with young people and their families, supporting children to flourish during the most important stage of their development. I am passionate about giving children the very best start in life. Throughout my career, I have seen how high quality early education and the support we offer families can make a lifelong difference.
I also understand first hand the positive impact that strong, dedicated governance can have on a school community. That is why I was genuinely flattered and excited to take the opportunity to represent Oldfleet Primary School as a governor. I look forward to contributing my experience, enthusiasm, and commitment to help the school continue to thrive.

I have taught in Hull for a number of years across all three primary stages. I truly love my job! Helping raise children's self-esteem and giving them the skills to better themselves is a privilege. This is my fifth year teaching at Oldfleet Primary School and I still marvel at the enthusiasm, talent and potential that comes through our doors each day. During my time at Oldfleet, I have worked hard to be involved with as many aspects of the school community as possible, from leading Science to celebrating local festivals, supervising overnight trips and overseeing Shakespeare productions.
Kerry Newton
Role: Parent Governor
Business Interests: None
I had a long career in social services but I started my adult life as a very young mum. Both my children are grown up now and my grandson attends Oldfleet.
I have never forgotten the feeling of being a scared young mum always being unsure if I was getting things right, knowing when to question a situation.
I wanted to be a Parent Governor to ensure the children at Oldfleet had the same “Anything is possible, nothing is too high to strive for” attitude that I had instilled into me at school.
I wanted to be a parent Governor so the Parents had a voice.
