Deborah Hall

Occupation:         Retired Headteacher

Time on Local Governing Body:     2016-present

Skills & interests:
I became a Local Authority Governor (now a co-opted governor) at Airy Hill in November 2016 after moving to Whitby following my retirement as headteacher of a school in North London. Having carried out my second teaching practice at Airy Hill it was a great pleasure to be invited to sit on the board of governors here.

I am passionate about learning and believe that all children should receive a broad, balanced, challenging education that enthuses and excites them whatever their age, gender or ability. To enable this, we need to provide a safe nurturing and secure environment for them to achieve their best.

I love all types of sport and enjoyed playing, coaching and umpiring a variety when I was younger. I now enjoy watching all types of sport, reading and doing all the things I never had time to when I was working!

Skills and Interests
A proud Mum to three wonderful children, with two currently attending Airy hill Primary School. I am very grateful for our friendly school community and passionately believe that all children should have the opportunity to enjoy and thrive in their educational environment, thus enabling them to achieve their full potential. I am looking forward to bringing a parent perspective to the governing body.
As a Criminal Justice Worker and recently appointed safeguarding lead, I am responsible for providing a range of supportive and inclusive recovery focussed interventions to inspire individual positive change and increasing positive outcomes for families and the wider community.
Outside of work I enjoy family adventures within our local natural 'playground'. From enchanted forests and wildflower meadows to treasure hunting and wave jumping on our beautiful beaches.

Occupation:        Watch Manager – North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service

Time on Local Governing Body:                  1 month

Skills & interests:

Having already served a full term at Airy Hill, I am reasonably well versed in the governance role.  My Wife & Mother have also worked in educational establishments for many years, so I have learned about the challenges, successes and difficulties facing education over many a Dinner table discussion.  I bring my experience in Health & Safety and also a keen amateur interest in finance to the governing board.

I am a keen sports enthusiast and will participate in anything with a competitive angle, football, cricket, rugby, swimming, running, snowboarding, cycling and triathlon being my main areas of interest.

I will endeavour to contribute to the governing board of Airy Hill, to the best of my abilities during my term and hope to assist in pushing the school forward to greater achievements in the future.
