Barbara EastgateCo-opted Governor
My background is in law and I worked for several years as a solicitor before taking a break to raise our three children, all of whom attended Lickey School in the 1990’s. I then changed direction, gaining a BA in humanities and also a qualification in teaching English language to adults. I currently teach academic English as part of a project with the NHS to retrain healthcare professionals from oversees (mainly asylum seekers and refugees). I have previously served as a school governor at a secondary school and gained insight into and experience of the issues involved in school management and in being a ‘critical friend’ to the school. I am able to put my skills and experience to good use at Lickey. My hobbies include reading, theatre and gallery visits, gardening, photography, walking and travel. |
Rohit BehlCo-opted Governor

All about your Governors
Governing bodies have three main roles: to provide strategic direction for the school; to act as a critical friend to the headteacher, who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school, and the school team; to ensure accountability. The governors meet as a full board four times a year. In addition each of the three sub-committees ( see below) meet three times a year.
How to contact the Governors
Governors can be contacted by letter. Please address it for the attention of the Chair of Governors LHPSN and put in a sealed envelope marked private and confidential. This should then be passed to the school office.
How the Governing body is made up
The governing body includes parents, staff from the school, people chosen by governors from the local community, people appointed by the Local Education Authority (LEA).
Some of our key objectives
- In conjunction with staff and parents help to improve the performance of the school and the experience of its pupils.
- To ensure that the management and financial systems are as effective and efficient as possible.
