Local Governing Committee
Our governors help to set the school's direction and make sure it is doing the best for every child. They support and challenge the school leaders and ensure the school is safe, inclusive and focused on high standards.
Liz Wagner - Chair of Governors
Liz was born in Sheffield, “emigrated” to Southampton to read Chemistry at Southampton University and has stayed in the area ever since! She worked in secondary education after graduating, holding posts from classroom teacher to Deputy Principal of an Academy. Liz ran her own Educational Consultancy business for 13 years and has a huge passion for helping children learn and for supporting teachers. Her spare time is spent doing voluntary work for a variety of organisations near her home including being chair of governors of two other primary schools.
She thoroughly enjoys being Chair of Governors of the Sholing Junior School considering it be a real privilege.
Liz visits the school regularly to meet with the Headteacher and other staff and aims to attend as many school events as possible.
Lisa Hayes - Governor
I have lived in Southampton all my life and have been a school governor at various schools for over 25 years. Over the last 30 years, I have also volunteered in a number of different roles within the local community, always with a passion for supporting children, young people and families.
Over the years I have worked in a variety of administration and finance roles and have also run my own bookkeeping business. Combined with my safeguarding experience as a foster carer and Lead Welfare Officer at Basingstoke Gymnastics Club, I hope I bring a good mix of skills and experience to my role as a governor.
As a wife, mum and grandmother, I understand how important it is for children to feel happy, safe and supported so that they can reach their full potential. I am proud to be part of the governing body and look forward to working with staff, parents and fellow governors to make a positive difference to the children and families in our school community.
