Meet the Governors

Mrs R Richardson, Head Teacher

Hi, I am the Head Teacher at Hillside and have been a school governor since the school opened. I find it to be a very rewarding opportunity. I believe governors can offer tremendous support to a school and help drive it forward to further improvement. Hillside is a wonderful school to be part of and it is a real privilege to work alongside a dedicated team. The children are a credit to our school and I am committed to ensuring each and every pupil has a wonderful learning experience during their time at Hillside.

Miss N Hornby, Chair of Governors

My name is Nicola Hornby, I am the Chair of Governors for the school. I am a partner in a firm of solicitors, The Johnson Partnership, based in Nottingham City centre.  I do not have any children at Hillside, but I have always been interested in education and recently took part in a voluntary project in India based around children's literacy. I wanted to put something back into the community and decided that being a school governor was a positive way of using my skills to do this. I can be contacted by email nhornby@hillsideprimary.com

Mrs L Beck Deputy Head Teacher (Advisor) 

My name is Linsey Beck and I have been the Deputy Head at Hillside since September 2016, during this time I have also supported the Governing body in an advisory role. I am very proud of Hillside and our commitment to giving children every possible opportunity to learn more and become the very best version of themselves.
