School Governor Profile
Liz Ross - Church Governor
I am a new Foundation Governor appointed by the Diocese of Worcester. I have lived in Droitwich for two years with my husband and am keen to get to know the area and St Peter's School better.
I currently work part-time as a lecturer in Social Policy at the University of Birmingham, and being part-time gives me time to be more involved in the Droitwich community. I have worked at the University for some years and one of my main areas of interest is in how we live together as a community. This builds on my experience as a community worker in the inner city in Birmingham where we lived for many years whilst our children were growing up.
As the daughter of a clergyman, moving from place to place has always been part of my life and I have quite a wide experience of living in different types of communities - but I do hope that we will now be settled in Droitwich for some years!
We have four grandchildren, two of whom are teenagers and the younger two will be starting school next year. They live not too far away and we currently care for our little granddaughter on one day each week.
I am enjoying getting to know more about the school and the role of a governor. It is going to be quite a challenge but I hope that I will be able to contribute my skills and experience. The early years at school are so important in shaping our children's lives and opening up opportunities for them to develop as they grow.
