Terence Ryan

Staff Governor: Terence Ryan

Appointed: 17/11/21

Committees: None

Particular interests:  

I began working at Mount in 2015 and I have loved working across KS2. I have predominantly worked in Year 6 and that is where I am currently teaching. I love teaching Year 6 as it is such an important transitional year and I welcome the pressure of ensuring they leave Mount Primary School as good role models who are ready to tackle the next stage of their life. I am also PE lead for the school and have responsibilities for allocating the premium sports budget and assessing its impact. Some of my main passions are to ensure all children are taught a rich curriculum, they have access to a wide variety of extra-curricular opportunities and have opportunities to participate in competitive sport. As a school, we ensure we are inclusive and this is something that underpins everything that we do.

Why I want to be a governor:

The reason I decided to join the governing board was because, as a teacher, I really wanted to understand how the school operated behind the scenes. Curiosity got the better of me. I wanted to understand and do what I can to help drive positive changes and I believe that is what we have done and that is what we will continue to do. It is important that our staff have a voice among the governing board and I am more than happy to fulfil this role. I love a challenge and I love working collaboratively for the benefit of all the children who come through the doors at Mount.

Personal information:

On a personal level, I have a partner called Amy who is a midwife and I have two children- a five year old girl called Holly and a 1 month old boy called Robin. As a family, we love to go on holidays and days out but we also appreciate the simple pleasures of going for lovely walks and getting some fresh air. I also love to spend time with friends, keep active, play games and read non-fiction books.
