Governors

Rachel Curtis

Chair of the Governing Body

I am Rachel Curtis and I have been a Governor at Fagley for over 10 years now. I have been chair of governors for the last few years. I am not from Bradford originally, but came to work in Bradford in 1988 and have lived in Bradford since 2000. I now live in Idle. I am a social worker and work part time for Bradford Council. I have learnt so much about the world of children’s education through being a governor at Fagley, and I am so proud of the brilliant achievements of the children and all the staff who work so hard to make Fagley a great school.  I want the best for the children of Fagley!

Elizabeth Hayward

Parent Governor

Hello my name is Elisabeth Hayward. I have been a parent governor at Fagley Primary School for about five years. I have two daughters at the school who are thriving and enjoying their time at Fagley.  

 My background is in financial services and project management, and I'm currently working as a Continuous Improvement Lead at a finance company.   

 I am committed to representing parents at the governing board and very much enjoy hearing about the hard work done in school to give our children the best possible outcomes. Please get in touch if there is anything you would like to talk about or for me to raise with the governing board.
