Governing Body

I have worked at a number of Primary Schools in Blackburn and Darwen and have been Deputy Headteacher at St James’ C of E Primary School since 2010.This has given me the privilege of working with children of all abilities and needs, teachers, governors, parents, families and colleagues from other agencies. I am ambitious for all children and promote high standards of education and well- being to help children achieve success and flourish.

Farida Esat (Staff Governor) - My enthusiasm to gather feedback from colleagues as well as my own understanding of the staff experience provides a good position to contribute to Cedars Primary School decision making. I will look forward to attending governors meetings. I wish to participate actively to support the work of the school in the role of Cedars Primary School staff teacher governor.
