I am Pete Collinson, I am married to Sarah, have 3 children and live in Stapenhill. Originally from Cumbria, I moved to the area in 2001 and have since made Burton my home.

Professionally, I have held a number of senior commercial and analytical positions over the past 20 years in employment and I currently work for Volvo Trucks UK and Ireland as Aftermarket Sales and Extended Offer Director.

I feel my contribution will provide the opportunity to give something back to the community.

I believe it is incredibly important to help shape the young people in our area and support the school system from which I have benefited as I have grown up. It would also provide the chance for me to be more closely involved in the education of my own children and to help shape the next generation.

Hopefully the skills and experiences I have developed growing up, in education and in the career I have taken can benefit the children, help shape the future strategic direction of the academy and can be useful to the team.

I have been a teacher for over 20 years and what has been and will always be my favourite part of teaching is being with the children day in day out. They are an absolute joy. For me, I started teaching in Tamworth at the Dales Junior school where I led on P.E and taught in year 6 for six years. After this time, in 2007, I moved to a school called The Woodlands Community School where I led science and mathematics. It is here where I became deputy, thoroughly enjoying all aspects of my leadership role. In 2016, I was fortunate enough to join Fierte Multi Academy Trust as Headteacher of Ankermoor Primary Academy in Bolehall, Tamworth, helping to further shape the journey of a small primary school. Having had these valuable experiences throughout my career, I am now privileged to be the Headteacher of Edge Hill Junior Academy. To support my leadership position, I became a Future Leader with Ambition Schools Trust in 2016 and completed my NPQH in 2022. It remains a pleasure to serve this community and ensure the children thrive each and every day.

I have had the privilege of being a teacher at Edge Hill Junior School for 23 years. I have taught years 3,4,5 and 6 and I have had responsibility for RE, Art and Science. I was Assistant Head for 10 years and I have been Deputy Head for 4 years. I have a range of roles within school including a responsibility for Safeguarding, SEND, Attendance, Behaviour, Bullying, EAL and Teaching and Learning. Edge Hill is a great place to work and a great place to learn. The ethos in school is a happy one and it is paramount to us that children are happy in school. I have been a governor of the school for a number of years and as part of that team, the governors have worked successfully alongside all staff and parents to provide challenging, enjoyable and worthwhile learning experiences for the children in our care.
