Hello, my name is Zoe.

I am retired from the NHS, where I worked for over 35 years as a hospital nurse, macmillan nurse, health visitor and later in senior leadership in an NHS Trust, specialising in safeguarding. For many years I was a single working mother of two daughters, one of whom had significant special educational needs and disability, so I have some experience of the challenges many parents who have SEND needs face. Since retirement, I enjoy being a grandmother, and Caravanning! I work in a number of voluntary roles within a local church and local community, involving activities for children, families and older adults. I would like to be a visible governor.  I feel  passionate about being part of a team of governors who want to ensure the very best outcomes for our school through good governance.

If you'd like to know more about what we do, I am always very happy to talk. I often visit the school and will be attending with other governors at events where parents are. Please look out for me and say hello.

Having been a teacher at Park Lane I have recently retired and am delighted to now be a community governor following on from several years as a staff governor. I hope that my many years in education places me well to be critical friend to the senior leadership of the school. I always put the well being of the children first. I know Park Lane to be a happy and successful school and hope that in some small way I will be able to help the school grow and develop in the coming years.

Community Governor

I qualified as a primary school teacher in 2003. Since then, I’ve worked in numerous schools in

Peterborough. I also spent 7 years teaching in Italy, Russia and Germany, which was enormously challenging but rewarding.

I started teaching at Park Lane in 2015 and have taught children in Years 3 and 4. Since I started working here, I’ve seen many positive changes at Park Lane. In my role as staff governor, I want to make a valuable

impact. I want to ensure that the school continues to raise standards and every child enjoys their time here. Outside school, I enjoy spending time with my family and baking.

I served in the Royal Air Force for 19 years and moved to Whittlesey after my son was born.  When he was older I started working in the office of New Road Primary and was there for 15 years until I retired.  During that time I also spent 4 school terms as a finance assistant at Park Lane Primary. 

I decided to volunteer as a governor at Park Lane in January 2025 because I believed that my previous experience, interest in and knowledge of school life would be of benefit in this role. 

I enjoy being part of the governing team and helping to guide and support the leaders and staff in their ongoing efforts to keep the school a good, safe and thriving place for children to learn in our town.
