Governing Body

Ben recently joined as a Parent Governor to play a more active role in the school and to offer some of his skills to the Governor team. He lives in the village and has a son in year 1 and another son ready to join the nursey in autumn 2021. Ben works as a Town Planner in Local Government and really enjoys playing an active role in how the school can develop and expand its connections with our community and local environment. Over the years ahead he's really hoping that we can demonstrate how outstanding the school is and he's looking forward to building a stronger relationship between governors, teachers, pupils and parents.

Kat and her children love reading and she is passionate about meeting children's SEND needs and promoting children's mental health needs. Once Covid has settled down she very much looks forward to meeting more of the children and parents at school.
