Forward As One CE Academy Trust

Our Local Advisory Board

Our school is part of Forward As One CE Multi Academy Trust; within the Trust’s Articles of Association and Scheme of Delegation, the Forward As One Trust Board is the decision-making body and is accountable and responsible for the Trust and its academies. Each academy and their school leadership team is supported by a Local Advisory Board (LAB).

Governors on our LAB deploy their expert knowledge of our school's local community to provide support and challenge to school leaders. Governors work closely with our Headteacher to ensure that the school remains deeply rooted in the needs of our pupils, families, and community.

Chair of Governors

Mr Abdul Kashim 

I am delighted to be asked to become the Chair of Govenors at Canon Johnson C of E Primary School. As a local resident in the Waterloo area of Ashton-under-Lyne it will be a privilege to become involved with Canon Johnson, which is at the heart of the community. I am a great believer in education being the gateway to opportunity and remain hopeful that my involvement at Canon Johnson will allow me to make a lasting difference to the lives of young people. I have some experience as a School Governor from my time on the Governing Body of Alder Community High School in Hyde, Tameside in the period 2013-2017. I have more than 15 years’ experience in Corporate & Commercial Banking with Senior Leadership experience. I hold a BA (Hons) in Finance & Economics from the University of Manchester and am a Senior Manager at Homes England (Agency of the Housing Ministry)

Governor Profiles

Miss Lyndsay Buckle Staff Governor

I have worked at Canon Johnson since 2004 as a class teacher across all key stages and have been the Special Needs Co-ordinator since 2015. I was really excited to be asked to be the Staff Governor, as I feel it is an important role to support the school improvement outcomes for ALL of our pupils. I have lived in our local community since birth, attending Canon Burrows CE Primary School, Girl’s Brigade, Brownies and Christ Church’s Sunday School. I am passionate about the education of children and find my role as Staff Governor both interesting and rewarding and I will always strive to ensure that the work of the governing body fulfils its duties to all children and staff of our school.

Mrs Katrina Deakin Foundation Governor

I trained as a Teaching Assistant and enjoyed my first job working as a Nanny. Due to ill health, I volunteered in local church playgroups. After my children left home, I felt called to become an Authorised Lay Minister (ALM) in prayer and spirituality. I then trained in Children and Family Ministry as an ALM and alongside this I embarked on chaplaincy training. This led me to volunteering as school Chaplain in church schools (Canon Johnson and Canon Burrows). I enjoy my role as a chaplain, talking with a wide range of pupils and providing a safe space and an open-door policy for everyone in school. I am also in school to support the staff and parents. I have attended church all of my life. I enjoy leading Collective Worship and training peer Chaplains who help and work alongside the other children at lunch time offering activities. I would like to do further training around my chaplaincy work as well as learning to have a better understanding of neurodiversity as this would benefit children, the church and the schools I work with. I am married, have two grown-up girls who are happily married and I have 4 grandchildren.

Mr John Harrison Staff Governor

I have been working in education since 2015. My first 5 years were based in SEN schools working with children and teenagers with complex special educational needs where I discovered the enjoyment of teaching and learning. After completing my training, I was certain I wanted to teach primary children and began working at Canon Johnson in September 2022. I believe in providing the best quality education for all children and ensuring teaching is engaging, challenging and inclusive of all abilities. I am passionate about creating positive and calm learning environments where children can grow in confidence and be the best they can be.

I grew up and attended school in Dukinfield. I spent 16 years working in theatre in London before deciding to focus on a career in teaching.
