School Governors
Our school is proud to be part of the Crofty Education Trust, the running of which is overseen by the board of trustees – chaired by Mr Mike Hosking.
The Trust Board is made up of volunteers, mainly people who have been school governors in the past but also including people with specific business or educational skills. They set the strategic direction for the Trust, hold the Trust to account for its outcomes for students and oversee the work of the Executive Officers.
Each school has a Local Governing Body (LGB) who have delegated responsibility for standards and outcomes in that school, its safeguarding and its relationships with external stakeholders, especially parents. The Chairs of LGBs are held to account by the Board for outcomes in those areas.
The LGB will use its detailed knowledge and engagement with stakeholders to ensure that their school is being well served by the executive leadership, and has direct access to the board if there are concerns.
The Local Governing Body of Roskear Primary and Nursery School are all volunteers who give up their time to represent the community and to help shape the direction and aims of the School. Please click on their names below to find out more details about their term of office and responsibilities. For further information regarding the structure of the Crofty Education Trust, including details of trustees and members please use the Crofty Governance tab.

Miss H Pascoe
Vice Chair of Governors
(Community Governor)
Area of Responsibility:
SEND
I have been a Community Governor since 2022. I have always enjoyed giving back and have done various runs and cycle rides in Africa and Europe for charity. I also enjoy voluntary work in the community with the Guide Dogs and am a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh which involves promoting the spirit, culture and language of Cornwall.
I feel very lucky to have been born and live in Cornwall and love to get out and about in our beautiful County.
I have a very positive attitude and am extremely committed to supporting the children, families and staff at Roskear.

Attendance & exclusions
Mrs S Staples
(Teaching Practitioner & Staff Governor)
Area of Responsibility:
Pupil Premium
I have lived in Camborne for 26 years, for 20 of those I have worked at Roskear. Many of those have been within the EYFS department, which is my passion. My three children attended Roskear and now two of my grandchildren attend. I spent many years as part of the PTA team, helping raise money to support the school. I still help at functions, such as school discos and fayre’s.
I have been a governor for five years now and enjoy supporting the school and staff from a different perspective
Mrs E. Lofthouse
(Parent Governor)
Area of Responsibility:
Safeguarding and Children In Care
My name is Emily Lofthouse. I am a Parent Governor and have 2 children at Roskear. I have 5 year’s experience as a Governor in 2 Primary Schools. I am also a Teacher and have been teaching for 15 years at Secondary level in Cornwall. My passion is supporting the education and futures of our young people.
Jessica Café
(Chair of Governors)
I grew up in Hampshire but made Cornwall my home in 2009 whilst I was studying for a degree in Horticulture.
I first became a governor at Portreath school when my eldest daughter started in reception class.
I really enjoy the varied role of being a governor and making a difference to all the children’s education journey.
I am a teaching assistant at Portreath and I also lead outdoor learning across the school.
When I’m not at school you will find me spending time with my children or walking my dogs across the beach.
