--- title: "Mike Merchant" url: "https://gatleyprimary.com/our-school/meet-the-governing-body/mike-merchant" school: "Gatley Primary School" --- # Mike Merchant ### Mike Merchant - Co-opted Governor Both of my daughters attend Gatley Primary School and I am a resident of Gatley. As a University lecturer, I do feel that I have transferable skills and a long-standing interest in education that I would be able to bring to the role. Social Responsibility is one of the three core goals of the University of Manchester, and I am proud to belong to an institution which aspires to make a difference in the community. The University operates a School Governor initiative , whereby it supports and encourages staff to become school governors across Manchester. I aim to harness the School Governor Initiative to gain experience, support, and training in the role of school governor from other University staff, which will enable me to best serve Gatley Primary School. #### 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/)
