Building Futures, Inspiring Success

Katie Corbett - Chair of the Local Governing Body for BFIS


I became Parent Governor at the school in November 2019 and took on the role of the Chair of the Local Governing Body in July 2021. I take an active role within the Barnes Farm community ensuring parents views are fully represented in order to positively impact school outcomes.

Since my daughter joined the school, she has been very happy at Barnes Farm. I am a full-time working mum and currently work in education at a unitary authority, working with schools and settings at a strategic level to drive standards. I am a qualified teacher and have great passion for high quality education for all. I strongly believe every child should be given the opportunity to reach their full potential and become resilient, independent learners.

I am proud to be a parent at Barnes Farm and enjoy working alongside the Governing Body to ensure the school continues to thrive. I am happy to speak with any parents/carers that have any comments or concerns they wish to raise.
