MEET OUR GOVERNORS

 

Anna Scott - Parent

I first became a governor when my two children attended Beckingham Primary School. I have continued my role on the Governing Board as a co-opted governor.  I work for an arts & heritage programme based at the University of Lincoln, focusing on community cultural engagement, public history, and cross-sector partnerships connected to culture.

 

I have experience of teaching in higher education, working in local authorities and as a consultant, project management, event management, managing budgets, seeking grant funding, evaluation and research. I am a published writer and public speaker. I am keen to support the school, its staff, pupils and families, ambitions and goals.

 

I do not have any close personal relationships with any staff members that could influence (or be perceived to influence) my impartiality in financial decision making in the school.  Declaration of Financial and Business interests - none.

 

Judith Laurie - Community

I have lived in Beckingham since 1975 and my three children were educated at Beckingham Primary School. 

 

I have a life long commitment to education having been a primary school teacher for 25 years after which I spent 15 years working in Initial Teacher Training in Lincoln. I retired in 2006 and with more time available I am happy and privileged to spend time supporting Beckingham Primary School as a Local Authority Governor.

 

I am delighted to see how much the school is developing both educationally and as an active part of the village community. I look forward to supporting the school in whatever ways I can in both of these aspects.

 

I do not have any close personal relationships with any staff members that could  influence (or be perceived to influence) my impartiality in financial decision making in the school.  Declaration of Financial and Business interests - none.

 

 

Peter Coleman – Co-Opted Governor 

 

Having recently moved to Beckingham I wanted to join a team which creates a positive effect on the village. The school is literally in the heart of the village and whether you are the parent of a child at the school or a resident you are part of the community and the success of the school paramount to the positive village ethos. 

 

I have experience in the hospitality business, specifically hotel IT. I have volunteered at various PTA’s throughout the years when my own children were school age. 

 

I am delighted to have been asked to join the governance team and look forward to working with the school staff, the rest of the governing team and of course, the children. 

 

I do not have any close personal relationships with any staff members that could influence (or be perceived to influence) my impartiality in financial decision making in the school.  Declaration of Financial and Business interests - none.

 

Rhiannon Brumby - Staff Governor

 

 

I have worked at Beckingham Primary School since January 2015 and as Deputy Head, SENDCo and EYFS teacher I am passionate about providing children with high quality education enabling every child the opportunity and experiences to reach their true potential.

 

As staff governor I feel it provides me with opportunities to work alongside staff, families, and the community and to strive to achieve the best outcomes for our school.

 

I do not have any close personal relationships with any staff members that could influence (or be perceived to influence) my impartiality in financial decision making in the school.  Declaration of Financial and Business interests - none.

 

Louise Simmonds -  Co-Opted Governor 

 

 

I joined the Governing Body in 2022 as a Co-opted Governor. As a local Headteacher I wanted to offer an educational voice on the Governing Body of the local primary school in which I live. My children attend Beckingham Primary school and I am invested in ensuring positive outcomes for all children at the school. I offer experience in leadership and management of a school, financial decision making, recruitment of teachers/teaching assistants, curriculum knowledge, teaching and learning, monitoring and evaluating within a school setting and holding others to account.  As a parent at the school I can also offer a parental perspective when needed.

 

I thoroughly enjoy working with staff, pupils, Governors and leaders of another school and enjoy discussing and sharing new ideas that are beneficial to Beckingham Primary School- which can also help for my own school! It is a real pleasure to have the opportunity to influence outcomes for the children at Beckingham Primary School.

 

I do not have any close personal relationships with any staff members that could influence (or be perceived to influence) my impartiality in financial decision making in the school.  Declaration of Financial and Business interests - none.
