My name is Margaret Cox and I am lucky enough to be a new Local Authority governor at Bramley Vale. I have worked in education all my life and until relatively recently, as a headteacher in a village primary school. So far, I have been able to visit the school to find out more about the phonics teaching that many of your children will be experiencing. I am very much looking forward to supporting Bramley Vale and its lovely children
