Meet the Governors | Peel Brow School

Christie Finegan (Chair)

I have been a governor at Peel Brow for approximately 18 months. My responsibilities as a governor include chairing the resources committee and acting as link governor for Safeguarding. My own children have both attended Peel Brow, my eldest, Alex, left in 2012 to go to Woodhey and then following a glorious couple of years where I didn’t have to shuttle up and down the motorway from Bury every day, Natasha started in 2014. Outside of my work at the University of Manchester, where I run Postgraduate programmes, my governor’s responsibilities and my Mum duties I can be found at live music gigs, theatre, museums, galleries, travelling on a shoe string, bargain hunting in Charity shops and occasionally will be seen pounding the streets of Bury as I’m in the throes of a mid-life crisis and have suddenly developed a burning desire to run.

During my time at the school I have worked in many different roles including classroom assistant as it was known then, SSA and after qualifying as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant I taught Art, Design and Technology and Music from Year 1 to Year 6.
