| Pen Portrait: | Born and brought up in Bootle, some of my earliest memories are of visiting my father’s large extended family in L8, including in Ponsonby St. Educated in Liverpool, I worked for thirty years in Sefton, as a teacher, advisory teacher and education officer, before joining Toxteth schools as Director of the Education Action Zone in 2000. I joined Kingsley governors in 2004 and continued after retirement, serving as deputy chair for some years before becoming chair in 2014. My interests are walking, reading, gardening, sport and DIY, and keeping in touch with my own large extended family. My main Kingsley enthusiasms are the school garden, the forest and eco-school but I have served with interest as safeguarding governor, member of the Children’s Centre Committee and chair of the Curriculum Committee. Presently I am link governor for Pupil Premium and chair Resources Committee and remain very grateful to my fellow governors, old and new, for their support and service to the school. |

| Pen Portrait: | Hi everyone. My name is Jennifer Murshid and I have been a Parent Governor since 2018. Originally from Belfast, I moved to Liverpool to attend University where I studied Sociology and Psychology. I have lived in various areas of the city since moving here but settled in Toxteth 11 years ago. I have 4 children, all of whom currently attend Kingsley Primary School. Although I am currently a stay at home mum, I have had several years experience managing a business, knowledge which I hope to be a positive contribution to my role as Governor. I strongly believe that all children deserve the best education and start in life that they can be given. Along with all the staff at Kingsley and my fellow governors, I aim to ensure the school is offering this to the children, helping them achieve as much as possible, all the while supporting their needs and making their school experience a positive one. I am proud to be part of such a unique and diverse school, within our wonderful community. I am currently link Governor for Safeguarding within the school and have a keen interest in writing, reading, Maths, Science and History. |
