Chair of Governors

David Brough- Chair of Governors and Parent Governor 

I am a father of three children who attend or have attended Brightside NI School and have lived in the area since 2005.

I am currently working as an Engineering Operations Manager following passing my MBA. 

The education of children is important to ensure they get the best possible start in life and opportunities for the future.

I believe the skills I have, and skills I am learning will help support the school in delivering excellent education to future generations.

 Pat Tomlinson- Vice Chair of Governors and Local Authority Governor

I have lived in Brightside since 1982 and have held various school governor roles since 2008.  

Both my grown up children and my grandson have happily attended Brightside School over the years.

I’m an Early Years Advisor for PACEY and a freelance Childcare Assessor/Tutor. For these roles I ensure I have an up to date knowledge and understanding of Early Years education.

I also work as a volunteer at the local church, being involved in children’s work.

I feel that these roles help me to support the school in my role as Vice Chair of Governors.
