Bradleys Both Governing Body is made up of representatives of parents, staff and members of the local community.
We are all volunteers with a wide range of experience and skills to ensure that we hold the school to account so children receive a high standard of education and further develop and improve the school.
We all play an active role in strategic leadership, ethos and ensuring clarity and vision in school and supporting the work of the Headteacher and all staff members.
In welcoming you to our school, it is our duty that all staff and Governors will work together in being successful in reaching our aspirations.

Mrs Rebecca Stapleton, Chair of Governors
Mrs Gemma Noller, Vice Chair of Governors
I am Gemma and I have two children at Bradleys Both. I live in Skipton and was so thrilled to find such a wonderful school I just wanted to give something back! I am a GP locally and so have experience in safeguarding and working in the public sector that I bring to the role.
Mrs Fran Hartley, Co-Opted Governor
I joined the board as a Parent Governor in 2018 when my oldest child was in Reception. I have 3 children, two of which are currently in the school. I chose Bradleys Both because I preferred its smaller size and the strong family ethos of the school. My children love attending this school and enjoy the breadth of the curriculum on offer. I volunteered to be a school Governor so that I could support the continued development of a school which I'm very proud to be a part of.
Mrs Jane Hitchcock, Co-Opted Governor
My daughter attended Bradley's Both School and enjoyed seven wonderful years here. It's great to be able to volunteer as a school governor, continue to be part of the school community and support the school to provide the best education for our young people. I have a varied background in teaching, corporate training and early years, and now currently working as a Speech & Language Therapy Assistant supporting families with babies & pre-schoolers.

Mrs Carol Robertson, Co-Opted Governor
I joined the governing body in 2021 after taking early retirement. Bradleys Both School was the obvious choice of school for me since both my children attended the school and it feels like a good way to give a little back for the happy times and excellent education they received in school. It’s something that I have wanted to do for quite some time but life was just too busy until now.
With more than 35 years’ experience of working in education- across primary, secondary, special, sixth form, pupil referral units and outdoor centres- and in roles ranging from class teacher, SENCO, Head of English and Headteacher, I feel I have some useful knowledge and experience that I can bring to school.
I was appointed as SEND governor in May 2022 and have just taken on the additional role of English link governor, which I am looking forward to immensely.
Mr Barry Rogers, Headteacher
Mrs Kathryn Robbins, Clerk to Governors
