Sarah Arnold - Co-Chair of Governors
|
My name is Sarah Arnold. I became a parent governor of Lythe Governing Body in September 2015. I have been recently elected as Co-Chair and look forward to fulfilling this role professionally and effectively.
I'm a full time mum of 3 young boys. We live locally and my children attend Lythe CEVC school. I have a degree in business studies and operated my own business consultancy from 2006 to 2014. During this time I supported many organisations of various types and sizes in areas such as business planning, strategy and grant support.
I am very keen and enthusiastic in my role as a governor as I feel passionately about the ongoing success of the school and am eager to support the school, staff, pupils and parents to build upon existing strengths thus providing our children with a productive and happy education.

As a retired primary school teacher, living in Lythe and with 30 years of governor experience in other North Yorkshire schools, I was delighted to be asked to be a foundation governor representing the church. I have thoroughly enjoyed the role for the past 5 years, working alongside the other governors and staff at Lythe school. I have 6 grandchildren, so it is good to still be involved in the ever changing education system.
