My name is Julie Gibbs and I have lived in Pucklechurch for over 30 years. For much of that time I have attended St Thomas à Becket church. I am also a member of the PCC and am currently training to be the Parish Safeguarding Officer. After the retirement of our vicar, Stuart Young, the PCC did not have a regular contact with the school, so I offered to step up and become a Foundation Governor. My son attended Pucklechurch Primary from 2005 until 2012. During that time, I spent a lot of time at school primarily as joint chair of the PTA and, later, as a governor. I love the atmosphere of the school and am delighted to be given the opportunity to continue being involved in its development.
