Head Teacher, Sue Skillcorn
I studied at Durham University and I qualified as a teacher in July 1996. I worked at Harry Dack Infant School and then worked at Handale Primary School as Assistant Head Teacher. I moved to Dormanstown Primary School as Deputy Head Teacher and I am now very proud to say that I have been The Head Teacher of Mill Lane Primary School since September 2015.
I have two children of my own and my hobbies include travelling, reading, horse riding and sport.
I am really enjoying my time at Mill Lane. I am passionate about giving every child the best possible start to their education to enable each and every one to achieve their full potential. I am committed to ensuring that each child learns the skills necessary to become life-long learners, to enable them to confidently go on to secondary school, college, university and beyond, and prepare them for life in the 21st Century.
John Taylor, Governor
I am John Taylor, and I became a Co-opted Governor at Mill Lane Primary School in June 2018. My wife and I have lived in Eaglescliffe for 42 years, and we have a grown-up daughter and grandson in Surrey. Until retirement I worked for ICI (later Huntsman) in the petrochemical industry. I am a member of Stockton Parish Church, with a particular interest in asylum seekers and in the Mill Lane area. Most weeks I can be seen in school listening to children read, and I sometimes help on school trips. I have previous experience as a School Governor at St. Mary’s primary school in Long Newton near Stockton, and although that school is very different, I would like to use that experience in Mill Lane School.
Barbara Peace- Ebanks
I joined the Governing Body of Mill Lane Primary School in June this year and am really excited to work with the Mill Lane family to make the school the best it can be. I have 40 years experience in education both in the UK and the Cayman Islands where I worked for over 20 years. I retired from my post as a Senior School Improvement Officer recently and returned to the UK to live in Stockton where I spent my Teenage years. I am keen to work within the community in which I live and this is why I have become a Governor. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading books and when Covid permits I hope I can enjoy traveling.
Acting Chair of Governors
Staff Governor, Jo Metcalf
I trained as a teacher at University College Northampton qualifying with a BA (Honours) Primary Education in 2000. After graduating I taught in London and then fulfilled my travel dreams teaching in British International school’s in the Middle East and Australia. I commenced teaching at Mill Lane Primary school in 2018 and have I am delighted to take on the role of Teacher Governor this academic year.
I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter and have recently settled to live in the Stockton on Tees area. In my spare time I love to run and I am currently training to participate in a half and full marathon. I have travelled extensively and have a large bucket list of places that I would love to explore and share my experiences.
I have a passion for the teaching of reading and the importance of this is in all aspects of daily life. I also love to teach art and design and technology and support the teaching of this through Mill Lane Primary School. I am found each day in the Year one classroom, please feel free to say hello!
Co-opted Governor, Lydia Gurney
I became a Co-opted Governor at Mill Lane Primary School in June 2017. My family and I moved to Stockton-On-Tees from Reading when I took up the position of Children’s Pastor at Stockton Baptist Church at the beginning of 2017. I have two children at Mill Lane School and I am keen to get involved and build connections with the school.
Before working for the church, I worked in Banking and Retail Management. I also have a degree in Music and before moving to Stockton, spent a lot of my time teaching children piano and flute as well as going in to the local schools to help with assemblies and choirs.
I am often in the playground at the beginning and end of the day with my children and I’m always happy to chat!
Pauline Beall
Local Authority Governor
Asma Abdelmawla, Parent Governor
I joined mill lane primary school as a parent governor in January 2019, I born and raised in Benghazi city located by the Mediterranean sea at the northeast of Libya. I graduated from dental school in Libya in 2004, and since that, I work as a dental surgeon in the state hospital back home. on 2017 I and my husband came to the united kingdom with our children hoping to provide a better childhood for them because the civil war got worst in Libya.
I am a mother of two girls attending mill lane primary school and the third child will start September 2020 in reception class, and as I am new for the education system in the UK, and to be able to understand how it works, it was a golden opportunity for me to join the school and become part of the education atmosphere in it.
The most I like to do at school helping in the class’s activities and trips. sometimes I help newly arrived families from the Arabic world by interpreting as a qualified interpreter.
I am enjoying my time at school despite my increasing duties as recently started my PhD study at Newcastle University.

REGISTER OF GOVERNOR INTEREST GUIDANCE
Governors must declare any relevant business interests as well as the details of any other educational establishments they govern. The register must also set out any relationships between governors and members of the schools staff including spouses, partners and relatives. It is important to address any perception of a conflict of interests by making clear where such potential personal or pecuniary interests might apply; this might be a conflict between personal interests and the interests of the school or the Council when dealing with outside organisations or individuals.
Note 1. Pecuniary interest includes current employment, businesses (of which partner/proprietor), company directorship, charity trusteeship and other conflict.
Note 2. Personal Interests can also include business involvement/company directorship or trusteeships or family or close connections to the governor (for example a company the school might have contracts with).
Examples (potential conflicts):
- A governor whose spouse/partner is employed by the school – Should not take part in discussion regarding the school’s pay policy or any staffing matter that might impact on their partner. Both direct and indirect decisions might impact on the salary range of senior staff e.g. increasing pupil numbers.
- A governor involved with any committee group, business or after school club who hire part of the school – Should not be party to discussion involving the use of the school or their charging policy.
- A governor who is a supplier of goods or services to the school – Should not take part in decisions regarding the letting of contracts for that type of goods or services where a sub-contract relationship might exist.
The register of governor interests must also include details of attendance record at the governing body meetings and committees over the year and reviewed and updated on an annual basis indicating also when a governor steps down.
Associate governors must be included on the register and it should be clear when they have voting rights.
The school is required to maintain a similar register of staff interests that should also be reviewed annually – as specified in the NCC code of conduct. Staff had previously been included with the governor’s declarations but in light of the governing body register of interests being required to be published on the school web site, a separate register should be drawn up. Staff governors will need to be included on both registers.

Register of Governor Interest Guidance
Governors must declare any relevant business interests as well as the details of any other educational establishments they govern. The register must also set out any relationships between governors and members of the schools staff including spouses, partners and relatives. It is important to address any perception of a conflict of interests by making clear where such potential personal or pecuniary interests might apply; this might be a conflict between personal interests and the interests of the school or the Council when dealing with outside organisations or individuals.
Note 1. Pecuniary interest includes current employment, businesses (of which partner/proprietor), company directorship, charity trusteeship and other conflict.
Note 2. Personal Interests can also include business involvement/company directorship or trusteeships or family or close connections to the governor (for example a company the school might have contracts with).
Examples (potential conflicts):
- A governor whose spouse/partner is employed by the school – Should not take part in discussion regarding the school’s pay policy or any staffing matter that might impact on their partner. Both direct and indirect decisions might impact on the salary range of senior staff e.g. increasing pupil numbers.
- A governor involved with any committee group, business or after school club who hire part of the school – Should not be party to discussion involving the use of the school or their charging policy.
- A governor who is a supplier of goods or services to the school – Should not take part in decisions regarding the letting of contracts for that type of goods or services where a sub-contract relationship might exist.
The register of governor interests must also include details of attendance record at the governing body meetings and committees over the year and reviewed and updated on an annual basis indicating also when a governor steps down.
Associate governors must be included on the register and it should be clear when they have voting rights.
The school is required to maintain a similar register of staff interests that should also be reviewed annually – as specified in the NCC code of conduct. Staff had previously been included with the governor’s declarations but in light of the governing body register of interests being required to be published on the school web site, a separate register should be drawn up. Staff governors will need to be included on both registers.
