Hello my name is Mary Hillhouse, I am a governor at Silloth Primary School, and Chair of the Standards and Curriculum Committee. I live in Skinburness and worked for many years as a Senior Teaching Assistant in the Nursery. Since retiring I have continued to work at school on a voluntary basis one day a week in the Nursery, I also accompany the sports teams to competitions whenever I can. I have grandchildren in the school and it is a pleasure to support the school in any way I can.

My name is Emma Mounsey, I teach in Year 2 and I am the Staff Governor. I became part of the Silloth Primary School family as a newly qualified teacher, ten years ago and it truly has been eight years to remember!

 As a proud West Cumbrian, I am dedicated and determined that the children in our little corner of the world fully embrace their years in education, want then to know that they are valued, that they can make a difference and have memorable experiences in these vital years of their life. The children of Silloth are at the heart of everything that I do and I feel privileged to be part of their journey.

 Within school, I am SENDCo, Global Learning Lead Teacher, RE Leader and joint Maths lead. I am also part of the Senior Leadership Team as the Phase 2 Leader. I fully embrace all my responsibilities and I enjoy working as Staff Governor to continue to provide the children of Silloth with a strong springboard for the rest of their lives.

As I always say to the children in my class ... ‘the sky’s the limit!’

In my working life I work for Sellafield Ltd and I have over 15 years laboratory analysis experience and working with radioactive material.  Through this role I have been able to achieve my ambition to encourage opportunity, inclusivity and diversity in the workplace and by participating in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) events encouraging and helping to empower younger generations to learn, explore and challenge the ‘norm’.

I work with schools partaking in events encouraging children to understand and experiment with chemistry such as making slime then explaining and discussing the chemical reaction that occurs with the aim of inspiring, inquisitive young minds to consider scientific careers.

I am also a participant and mentee of the Cumbrian WIN (Women in Nuclear, a Global Association) our mission is to create an inclusive and fair environment that helps attract, retain and build a diverse workforce of the future, for Cumbria and the UK. We meet regularly to exchange ideas, information, and experience between members and to create bridges between members in the spirit of equality. 

It’s my drive for diversity and inclusion that I want to bring to Silloth Primary School and I believe every child should have a quality education.

I’m very much looking forward to contributing to future successes for our children, our school and our community.
