    I have been Chair of Governors at Northwood (North Road previously) Primary School for nearly 20 years. We have had upwards of 400 pupils for many years. I have been a governor at Longfield School and Eastbourne School. In a collective sense all the 53 councillors are responsible for all the education in Darlington. I have been going to QESFC for more than 10 years talking about magistrates and civic stuff so you could say all of them in one way or another!

    As a supply teacher I could go to any secondary school in the North East. I generally go to about 25 different schools in a school year.

    In my capacity as a Councillor I work with all maintained schools across the borough. This morning I was working with children from Skerne Park Primary and this evening I was at a meeting at the QE. I recently visited Northwood Primary to see the new eco building. Proffesionally I do not work with any schools in the Borough as this would be a conflict of interest.

    I teach at Staindrop Primary School as a Year 4 teacher. I went to High Conniscliffe Primary School and then Hummersknott and then to QE Sixth Form. I would like to work with school related to Eco-Schools which I am involved with in County Durham.

    Councillors don’t really work closely with schools on a day to day basis. That is the job of the people who are employed by the Council. But what I do is to sit on the Children and Young People committee which looks after all the schools in the town. I have special connections with Corporation Road School which is in my ward, and I used to work at Hummersknott, so I feel a close link with I that school.
