Hobbies & interests

An interesting fact or two about myself

Michael Farrell – Parent governor and chair of the local academy board.

Teaching assistant at a School in Billinge. Working with children in a specialised provision, helping them to overcome any barriers to their learning so they can succeed in their education.

I personally wanted to become a governor at our school to make a difference to the children of the local community within Platt Bridge and the surrounding area. I have real passion for working with children and young people, ensuring that they have the best outcomes possible from being in school. I really enjoy working within in a team of people that share the same values and beliefs in what’s best for the children and the whole school community. I also have children at the school myself and as parent governor I like to give the parents of the school community a real voice.

I am a keen rugby league fan who follows the Wigan Warriors. I also have been a rugby league coach for the past nine years at Chorley Panthers. Currently I am also mad enough to still be playing rugby league for the Spring View rugby club just down the road also! When not doing all things rugby I like to spend time with my family friends doing various activities. I have a keen interest in local history and like to keep myself active by going to the local gym.

When on holiday in Kenya a few years ago, I danced with a local Maasai tribe in their village! For charity I have rowed twenty-six miles in a day on lake Windermere!
