Governing Body Information

Mr Adrian Ridge Co-Chair

My name is Adrian Ridge and I am the Chair of Governors at Forestdale Primary School. I lead a committed and hard working team of governors who are intent on placing the school at the centre of its community, working with parents to support pupils to maximise their learning potential and to become good citizens who can confidently look forward to a successful and exciting future.

I have been a governor at the school for many years, and Chair of Governors since Christmas 2016. I am a retired former deputy head teacher of a local secondary school, with over 34 years’ teaching experience.

I am married with three grown up children. I am a Stoke City season ticket holder and an avid walker.

I look forward to meeting you as parents at school events and parents’ evenings to discuss your child’s progress and to celebrate their successes.
