Hello! I’m Mrs Maddocks, Executive Headteacher across our three lovely primary schools. The children are amazing, so polite, happy and eager to learn, they truly make me smile!  I joined the federation in January 2023, and I feel very lucky to be part of this incredible team.  I enjoy reading whenever I can, running, walking in the beautiful countryside, and going to the gym.   I love travelling and my favourite countries are Italy and Spain.  I would love to be able to return to Canada, the USA and maybe one day Australia and New Zealand.

To be written

My interest in the Federation started many years ago when both of my children attended Long Preston School.

Since retiring from a career in IT I decided to commit to a volunteer role for a couple of mornings a week to listen to the children read. That was two years ago and something that I continue to enjoy immensely.

I joined the Governing Body in March 2024. I have a specific interest in the early years foundation skills like reading that will help children succeed at school and beyond.

I have two sons currently at Giggleswick Primary and a daughter who will join in September 2025 and so am keen to support the Federation of schools go from strength to strength!  Professionally, I have always worked in health and currently work in Digital Health across Yorkshire and Humber.  I was previously a Trustee for a small knife crime charity called Through Unity.

I’m married to Dan and we have 2 children who will both attend Long Preston Primary School. I’m a Primary School Teacher in Skipton and enjoy farming in my spare time. We have a small flock of texel sheep – keep an eye out for Rudan Texels at the local shows!

I am looking forward to being part of the team.
