Governor Board for Thundridge CofE Primary School

 

 

 

 Mr Matthew Clutterbuck

 

 

 

(Chair) Parent Governor
 
I have been on the Tonwell governing body since May 2019. I am a PPG and music link governor and a member of the Finance and Staffing committee.
In day to day life I’m a father of 2 daughters and I live in the village of Tonwell, where I am also a local district councillor.
I am passionate about STEM where my role as an airline pilot for a major airline comes in useful.

Kathy Picture

 

Associate Governor/Member of finance committee 

I used to work for Herts for Learning as a Governance Adviser and I have extensive experience of volunteering as a governor across different schools.
I am really interested in Governance and I wholeheartedly believe that education can make a real difference in young people’s lives.
Prior to my role in Herts for Learning, my background was in health. I have worked in hospitals and in the community as a school nurse.
I have 3 grandchildren now, so still have a personal vested interest to support schools to be the best they can.

 

Mrs Sarah Bridgman

 

 

 

Head Teacher

Executive Headteacher/ Member of finance committee

I began my career in education in 2002 following completion of a Bachelor of Education degree. I have worked across five primary schools of varying sizes and demographics serving on the governing board of each one. I have taught across the full primary range as a class teacher, spent sixteen years at senior leadership level and am an experienced SENCO.

Mr Mick Furness

 

 

 

 Vice Chair Governor

I worked as a policeman in Leeds before transferring to Her Majesty’s Prison Service, where I worked through all grades in several establishments across the country to become a Governor. Among my many hats was Prison lead for Race Relations training, Lifer management and Liaison, and National Offender Management Service. I managed a workforce of over 600 and a prison budget of £16 million.  My governance experience covers two other schools, including one where I am still on the GB. I joined Thundridge to support developing the governing board in a small Church School and am Chair of Finance and Resources.  As a grandparent of ten I think I have sufficient experience of children’s expectations  in school and much enjoy  seeing the excitement that new learning brings to them.

Mrs Victoria Wallis

 

 

  Staff Governor 

I have been a teacher since 2008 and joined Thundridge in 2016. I have a passion for education and ensuring the children get the very best learning opportunities each day. I want all children to reach their full potential and enjoy school. I have recently joined the governing board as the staff link governor. I look forward to working with everyone to form a strong board for our schools. 
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my teenage daughter and visiting different places and being creative.
