Duncan Wilson Co-opted Governor (Chair)
I’m delighted to serve as chair of governors here at Cavendish. My son is in year 6 and I was first appointed as a parent governor in 2021. As chair of governors, it’s my job to ensure that the governing board works as an effective team. We support the headteacher and all staff in maintaining high standards and ensuring that Cavendish continues to be a safe and inspiring environment for every child. |

Sarah Kilty
Parent -Safeguarding Governor
As a parent to two children, I am delighted to serve as a parent governor at Cavendish. Cavendish is at the centre of our community and from the first time I visited I have been struck by how happy the children are and what incredible, varied opportunities they are given. I believe strongly that all children deserve a first-rate education and as a governor I ensure that the school’s moral purpose of ‘creating brilliant citizens’ is achieved, and our school is one that the whole community continues to be proud of.
Tim Whitworth
Parent Governor
As a parent governor with 3 children in the school I'm heavily invested in the school and it's progress. We're very lucky to have such a caring, diverse and inclusive school in our community and I want to see it thrive in all areas. I see my role as supporting and understanding the operations of the school and providing robust challenge where necessary. My aim is to ensure that Cavendish continues in "creating briliant citizens" through delivering an engaging educational experience and the multitude of opportunities it offers.

Co-opted Governor

I have been a co-opted Governor since 2023 and have two children who attend the school. We chose to send our children to Cavendish due to its focus on values and inclusion, this is evident right through everything the school does from the learning experience in the classroom to the events organised by our brilliant PTA. I became a Governor because I saw how hard all the staff at Cavendish work to ensure the school is successful and I wanted to do my bit to support them. My background is primarily in strategy and engagement and am currently head of external relations at Manchester Museum.
Kevin Foster
Staff Governor
As the staff governor and the LKS2 Assistant Headteacher of Cavendish, I am committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for our pupils. With over two years at the school, I bring first-hand experience of our teaching and learning environment to the governing board, helping to shape strategic decisions that support staff, pupils and the wider school community. My role bridges leadership and governance by ensuring that staff voices are represented while upholding our shared vision for excellence in education as we strive toward creating brilliant citizens.
