Maureen McEnaney 
Governor

Before becoming a school governor, Maureen worked for almost forty years as a children and families social worker in a variety of local authorities in the local area. This provided Maureen with the opportunity to see the difference a good education can make to children and in particular to those vulnerable children, for whom school can not only enhance their learning but provide a safe and secure setting in which they can feel nurtured and supported.

Maureen strongly believes that the role of school governor with Park End Primary school has provided her with the opportunity to contribute to the support and management of the school and stay involved in delivering positive outcomes for the children who attend.

Maureen describes Park End Primary School as committed to the pupils and staff and a school that embraces an inclusive approach which allows children to achieve despite the existence of challenges and difficulties.

In Maureen’s spare time, she likes to walk with her husband and grown up daughter. Maureen has a dog called Monty and a horse called Pepper, allowing lots of opportunities for fresh air and exercise!
