I still have a part time role teaching undergraduate medical students in Liverpool. After three years as a governor of an outstanding secondary school in Wirral, I was delighted to continue as a school governor in Mickleton.

Vice Chair

Name: Roger Milbourn

Roles and responsibilities: Performance and Standards Lead

Favourite children’s book: The tiger who came to tea

Childhood ambition: To be a vet

What I do now: Unfortunately I wasn’t good enough at science to be a vet L. I now work in financial services, advising individuals on investments, pensions and tax planning. I have two children, one in the school and a second who will hopefully join as well in due course.

Why I became a governor:  There had been a lot of change with the school and I felt it was important to become more involved to see if I can help to shape a more positive future.

Co-Opted Governor

Name: Alex Neal 

Roles and responsibilities: Co-Opted Governor

Favourite children’s book: The Snow Queen (Hans Christian Andersen)

Childhood ambition: I wanted to be a lawyer

What I do now: After being a legal intern for about 3 years, I learnt it wasn't for me. I now am a Civil Servant and find the job rewarding whilst having time to dedicate to my family. I am the mother of an amazing 4-year-old girl, love to hike and to take walks with our dog, Luna.

Why I became a governor: I have done volunteering for more than half my life and this felt like the right way to support the local community. Also, as my daughter approaches school age, I wanted to better understand the school system.
