Mr Graham Taylor | ||
Role: | Co-Opted Governor | My daughters had an enjoyable time when they attended Burton Primary, so the best way I could thank the school was to see if I could be of use as a governor. With nearly 50 years in the construction industry, I was sure I could give advice and keep an eye on projects and maintenance works. My first year as a governor has been a busy one, so thanks to the school for giving me this opportunity. |
