--- title: "David Balmer" url: "https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/meet-the-governing-body/david-balmer" school: "Gatley Primary School" --- # David Balmer ### David Balmer - Parent Governor I am fairly new to the Gatley area, having relocated to Manchester from Berkshire when I started a new job with the Bank of New York Mellon in December 2018. Previously, I was a Parent Governor at Sandy Lane Primary School in Bracknell which is a 600+ pupil primary school with a 'Requires Improvement' Ofsted rating. Although my children didn't attend the school, it was the nearest school to my place of work and I wanted to give back to the community I was a part of. As such, I volunteered to become a governor. I attended a number of different training courses including Safeguarding and Preparing for an Ofsted inspection. My career background in in Payroll, Audit, Human Resources and Project Management so I served on the Resources Committee, and then became Chair of the Committee. Again, I would like to give back to the community who have been very welcoming to my family. #### Term of Appointment: 15 January 2024 - 14 January 2028 Appointed by GB/Board #### Declaration of Business and / or Financial interests: None ### Our School - [About Gatley Primary School](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/about-gatley-primary-school) - [Vision and Values](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/vision-and-values) - [Meet the Team](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/meet-the-team) - [Education Learning Trust](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/education-learning-trust) - [Meet the Governing Body](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/meet-the-governing-body) - [Financial Information](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/financial-information) - [Our External Partnerships](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/our-external-partnerships) - [Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ECF)](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/ITT-and-ECF) - [Research and Development](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/research-and-development) - [Alliance of Leading Learning](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/alliance-of-leading-learning) - [School Art Gallery](https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/school-photo-gallery) - [Current Vacancies](https://educationlearningtrust.com/job-vacancies) ![Gatley Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/gatley-primary-school/images/logo/Gatley-white-circle-logo-2(3).png) #### Gatley Primary School Hawthorn Road Gatley Cheadle Cheshire SK8 4NB 0161 428 6180 #### Useful Links - [School Calendar](https://gatleyprimary.com/calendar) - [Term Dates](https://gatleyprimary.com/termdates) - [Contact Us](https://gatleyprimary.com/contact) [![](https://gatleyprimary.com/images/elt-footer-logo.png)](https://educationlearningtrust.com/) Company Number: 09142319 (England & Wales) Registered Address: Hawthorn Road, Gatley, Cheadle, Cheshire, SK8 4NB © Copyright 2018–2026 Gatley Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://gatleyprimary.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
