I have been a parent governor, and now rejoin the LGB as a Community Representative and am excited to continue in this capacity with the Academy and the Trust. Both of my children also currently attend Huntingtower.

For the last 12 years I have worked in and around Grantham in local schools - including Huntingtower Primary Academy - as a peripatetic music teacher working one-to-one with pupils as well as in some larger and whole class groups. In addition to this, I’ve had a variety of other jobs from cocktail making, to harvest sampler!

Over the past few years since the majority of my work stopped during the pandemic I decided to return to education myself and am currently on a course at the University of Nottingham studying music composition and conducting. I volunteer as a peer mentor and a mature student mentor, helping other students with any issues they may have while at university and sit on the Music Department Learning Community Forum as co-chair.

Continuing in the LGB my experience as a Governor will be invaluable and I will continue to build on my knowledge and continue to put my other experiences to use in the role. I am passionate about education and look forward continuing to work with the LGB and the school.

I have two children that attend Huntingtower, and I’m passionate about the education of the pupils within the school. I come from a background where culture and ethos are massively important, and therefore feel I can make valuable contributions in line with the school’s values and behaviours.

I am a bank manager, currently looking after a team of colleagues that are supporting customers through financial difficulty. In my role, I am constantly looking for continuous improvement across a matrix of different areas, including budgeting, profitability, impact on the local community, risk management, and networking, all of which are relevant in an education setting.

I have a keen interest in all things digital, and understand the importance of digital presence in the evolving world we live in, whether this is in the classroom, business or at home. I understand the importance of educating children around being safe online, and have delivered ‘safer internet’ discussions at local primary schools.

With a naturally curious, analytical mind, high level of enthusiasm and problem-solving ability, I’m able to act as a challenging friend to the governing body and academy by bringing my own experiences and perspectives to the board.

I am an experienced primary school practitioner with headship experience for 15 years. I have been a Governor/Trustee of a primary and secondary school since 2011. I currently support a number of schools through my roles at Inspire+.

I have been a teacher at Huntingtower since 2014, having completed a PGCE after a career in retail.

I have been involved in school governance for over 15 years having previously been a governor for a local nursery school.

My family and I have lived in Grantham since 2005 and my 2 of my 3 children attend local Secondary schools.

I have been a staff governor for over 5 years.
