Meet The Governors

Lorraine Holland, Staff Governor

Pupil Premium and Sport

I am a staff governor at New Bolsover Primary School. I am an Assistant Headteacher currently working in year 2 and have been at the school for 8 years. I love working with both children, parents and staff to ensure everyone meets their full potential. I have 2 children of my own, 4 dogs and 3 cats. I love relaxing by either walking the dogs or visiting local coffee shops with either friends or family. 

Kay Lovegrove, Chair of Governors

Early Years, HTPM

I am a retired headteacher who spent 36 years teaching in the Primary School sector. Derbyshire and Sheffield have both been where I have worked and lived. On retiring in 2014 I volunteered to become a school governor for the local authority and joined the governors at New Bolsover Primary School. My  particular areas of experience in teaching are Early Years and Key Stage 1.

I have two grown up sons with families and enjoy spending time with my grand children. In my retirement I am enjoying visiting new places with my husband and family.

Lucy Woods, Parent Governor

Safeguarding, PSHE, reading, writing and PE

I am a parent governor at New Bolsover Primary School. I have lived in Bolsover all my life and I do not think I would want to live anywhere else. I have worked for many years within the NHS. I currently work within the Medicine Department at Kings Mill Hospital and have done so for the past seven years as a Clinical Typist. I was appointed a governor at the school just before the Covid-19 Pandemic hit and therefore I hope to be seen more in person in school from now on, rather than over Microsoft Teams. I have one child who is attending Y3 at New Bolsover and two doggies at home. I enjoy reading, going on nice walks, spending time with my family and being out in nature. Please feel free to say hello in passing in the school playground. My particular areas of interest for the school are reading, writing, P.E, PSHE and safeguarding.
