Teresa Cooke - Head Teacher Governor

I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher of St Alban’s Catholic Primary School.  It is a joy and a privilege to be part of such a wonderful school community.  I am now in my 13th year of headship and my 34th year of teaching.

Roisin Moores – Foundation Governor

It is a privilege to serve as a Foundation Governor in my own Parish School – a school that my own three children previously attended. I have many years of experience working in Catholic Education, including 17 years of headship in a Diocesan Primary School. I currently work part time for the Diocese supporting a range of schools and also serve as a Denominational Inspector for our Diocese. I have wide experience of governance and currently am on the Governing Boards of two other schools.

Daniel Mape - Foundation Governor

I have no background in education other than being a pupil at a primary and secondary school within the same trust of schools.

What I do have is abundance of crossover skills which will enable me to add challenge, review and oversight in the role of governor.

I’m a qualified financial accountant with over 15 years of experience primarily in Investment Banking. My day to day involves interaction with regulatory bodies and attendance and preparation of materials for board meetings as part of my professional life.

As a father of two children at the school, I have an interest that the school achieves the best possible outcomes.

Karis Bailey - Parent Governor

I joined St Alban's Catholic Primary School as  Parent Governor in 2023 and I have a strong passion for ensuring all young people are provided with an excellent education. As a Secondary School Teacher I have a focus on safeguarding and child psychology, promoting equality and looking to provide opportunities for all students irrespective of their gender and background. I have one child at the school with my youngest set to join in 2024. I am extremely grateful for the outstanding level of education that they enjoy and embrace.

I have been working in the education sector for over 14 years, having taught in Secondary Schools, Further Education and Sixth Form Colleges both in the North West and London.

I live in Macclesfield where I enjoy being surrounded by nature. I am passionate about education, music, yoga and health and wellbeing. 

I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to the school to support and preserve its Outstanding character.
