I'm a physicist at the University of York. My principal research goal is to make electricity from nuclear fusion -- the process that powers the Sun but which we haven't yet successfully harnessed on Earth; I act as the academic director for a cross-institutional doctoral training programme in this area. I also lead the University of York's Natural Sciences programmes, which train undergraduates in interdisciplinary science ranging from Nanoscience to Neuroscience. I'm hoping that some of the experiences I've had in these roles will enable me to support the School as a Governor.

Outside work, I'm the social secretary of Stamford Bridge Cricket Club and serve on the Stamford Bridge Parochial Church Council. In addition to cricket (obviously!), I like rock climbing, but most of all enjoy walking with my family in the Lake District. My wife and I have lived in the village for over 10 years. My daughter is currently at the School.

I am a church minister based in York and have over 30 years pastoral experience.  I have a Masters Degree in applied theology and pastoral care.  For the past number of years I have served on the national abirtration board for our church movement and have helped produce a new code of conduct for our ministers.  I have had many years experience in dealing with leadership training, pastoral care and conflict management. 

As a family we moved to Stamford Bridge about two years ago.   Our son attends the infant school and my wife works in education in York.  It is my hope that I can use  my skills and experience to serve our local community, especially the primary school which plays such an integral role in preparing our children to reach their full potential in life.

Having lived in Stamford Bridge for twelve years, I am proud to represent the governing body on behalf of the parents to ensure that Stamford Bridge Primary is at the heart of the community,  providing the best education possible for all children.

I have worked in education for 16 years and have taught all primary age groups from 2-year-old provision to Year 6. My most recent role is working for a MAT of 23 schools on the school improvement team.

I am a Mummy to an incredible little boy. In our spare time we enjoy holidays, the outdoors, and trips to the beach!

Children get one chance of education and combining my profession with passion, I strive to ensure that together, with staff and parents, we nurture all children to be resilient, motivated, and successful.

I moved to Stamford Bridge in 2018 after living in the centre of York for 16 years.  I first arrived as a student in 2001 and studied for a BA in Politics and following that an MA in Governance - both at the University of York.  After graduating and working for a few years in the private sector, I worked for the Local Education Authority in York for 10 years, and since 2019 I have worked  in Education for East Riding of Yorkshire Council.  My roles in education have centred around school admissions, education policy and strategy, the future provision of school places and services for parents and schools.

I regularly meet governors and trustees of schools in my day job, though this role is my first and only as a governor.  As a local resident, but not a parent of children attending the school, I see my role as one centred around independent oversight and challenge, as well as supporting the head teacher and staff team to continue to strive for the best for our children.   My knowledge and experience in the education sector I believe can be used to help the school plan for the future  of the school within the wider education system and benefit the school as well as the local community and it's residents.

I have recently relocated from the centre of York to Stamford Bridge with my husband and two daughters and we both feel Stamford Bridge is the perfect place for us to bring up our children and be part of an engaged community environment.

I work as an Associate Director for Zinc Consult who are a consultant company specialising in the Rail & Civils sector, covering a multitude of areas such as Governance Accountancy, Quantity Surveying, Estimation and Business Transformation . My career history includes Quantity Surveying and Programme Finance Management. I have worked and delivered some Network Rail, London Underground, Carillion, and Northern Rail’s key projects; my roles have covered a number of senior positions of accountability in this sector. I am very determined and always attempt to inject pace and energy into anything I am involved in or lead.

Being governor of the school excites me and enables me to collaboratively work with the current established team and help provide a better environment for all of our children to come to school in.  There are challenges but the can-do community feel in the village will help support and grow an already excellent school and strive to make it even better.

I am delighted and honoured to introduce myself as the new headteacher of Stamford Bridge Primary School, I am really looking forward to being part of the community.

I have over twenty years experience in education across the cities of Manchester, London and York and I held headships in schools in Hackney and York. I hold a strong belief that children only get one chance at their education and it is our duty to make it the best it can be. I am highly dedicated to excellence in all areas of school life. The needs of the children are always paramount in the life and decision making within a school. I strongly believe in providing the children with exciting, creative and meaningful learning experiences, which build their enthusiasm for learning and help them to grow and develop positively in a variety of ways to enable them to be ready for their next stage in their learning journey. The school values of ‘believe, engage, succeed, together’ should underpin this work.

Now in my fifth year teaching at Stamford Bridge Primary School, I have an invested interest in the progress of the school and want to use my experience as a teacher to support this. I look forward to collaborating with current governors to ensure we give our children the best possible education.
