Potterhanworth School

I was originally elected as a Parent Governor. I am now an Associate Governor. I have strong community links, having lived in Potterhanworth for over 25 years, and been involved in various ways (eg as Parish Councillor).
Both of my children attended Potterhanworth School. I care deeply about equal opportunities for all children, and recognise the school’s important position at the heart of the community.

I have worked as KS2 leader within school since September 2014 and have been a teacher governor since January 2015 and am part of the Personnel and Standards sub-committee.
Within my role as a teacher governor, I am able to inform the rest of the governing body about the day-to-day implementation of the School Development Plan, as well as update them on new initiatives being used within everyday teaching.

I was elected as a Local Authority Governor on 8 Feb 2022. As a Local Authority Governor I am a representative of the local authority and provide an ‘LA viewpoint’, however I also participate in the same way as the other governors.

An RAF Officer by profession, I have 2 children who attend the school. I have a keen community spirit, also being a Trustee and Treasurer of the Potterhanworth “Culfrey Lands Charity”.

 I look forward to supporting the School and Children in any way that I can.

I have 2 children who currently attend the school and one who studied there till 2021. I was elected foundation Governor in 2022. Previously, I served as a Pastor of a large Church in New Delhi, India for many years. My family and I moved here in the year 2020 and the school was one of the main reasons we moved to Potterhanworth. Currently I busy myself with teaching that BIble at various churches in the midlands area. I also serve as a deacon at the Baptist Church that we attend, where I have responsibility for all university students that attend. It is a privilege to be elected a foundation governor to help the school with its Church distinctive identity.

I joined as Parent Governor at the beginning of 2022 and I also sit on the budget committee. I have been running a communications & technology business for 15 years and I hope that my business experience will be an asset to the Board of Governors and to the school. Two of my children have been through primary education at Potterhanworth School and have had wonderful experiences, I wanted to give something back to the school through my role as Governor.

I have been a Governor since April 2014. I am a registered nurse with 3 young boys, who all attend the school. I am delighted to be part of the continuing growth of the school and its integral part of our community. I support in any way I can and have completed a number of Governor training courses.

I moved here to become Rector of Branston with Nocton and Potterhanworth last spring. I have had a varied career – my last ‘proper job’ was as a marketing manager with a local authority. Then, having studied in one of the Cambridge theological colleges, I served my curacy in Leicester. After that came seven years as Team Vicar in the Fosse Team, I am now enjoying working with our local schools and churches.
