I am delighted to be part of Seaton Primary School, having recently moved back to Devon. Our family spent four years in the late 90s in Teignmouth, and I grew up in the county, with the last 20 years or so living in Oxfordshire. I am married with three grown up children, and three grandchildren. And a dog and a cat!
My professional background is school leadership – both primary and secondary. Currently I have a part-time role in a multi-academy trust, leaving me time to take on this governor role, and also undertake some consultancy in the wider education sector, including independent and international schools.
I have governance experience in local authority schools, as a trustee and member of a large multi-academy trust, adviser to a small independent special school group and recently as the independent chair of a primary school in special measures. Although I do not now inspect schools for Ofsted, the training and experience I have continues to be very useful.
Any time I have that is not education-related is spent reading novels, (and not particularly worthy ones), a bit of light pottering in the garden and walking the dog.

Lizzie is a Mum to two small boys, one of whom attends Seaton Primary, the other to follow soon. Before having her children she spent 15 years in various management and leadership roles for Tesco Stores Ltd across the country and hopes that some of the skills she learnt and used there can be put to good use on the Governing Board for the school.
Lizzie stopped work when she had her first son and over the last few years has been running her own small business. In her spare time she enjoys cycling, sewing and painting.

My wife and I have 3 children at Seaton Primary School and I was previously a member of the PTA. I have been a financial adviser since 2006, in which time I have developed skills I hope will be useful in my position as a Governor. As a family we love to travel, visit our extended family and walk our dog. I am a keen golfer and in recent years have taking up walking, completing the majority of the Jurassic Coast with various friends and family. I look forward to contributing to Seaton Primary Schools continued success over the coming years

I moved to Seaton in 2007 and currently have 2 children in KS2 at Seaton Primary. I have always been impressed with the school and the environment my children have been educated I am delighted to have the opportunity to assist the school in the future years. My wife and I co-own a local, family business with my brother and his wife which has been in our family for over 20 years. As we both were not born locally we find ourselves very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country and enjoy many local activities whilst finding ourselves very popular with family and friends who are keen to visit and be beside the sea.

My daughter previously attended Seaton Primary School before moving up to secondary school and I was involved with supporting the PTA during this time.
I currently work for the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) delivering early intervention mental health support to children and young people in schools. I am the Safeguarding Governor for Seaton having previously worked in primary and secondary schools as a Safeguarding and Mental Health lead. As a family, we love spending time at the beach, walking with our dog and camping. I look forward to supporting Seaton Primary School to continue providing the best education for our children in my role as co-opted governor

I am a mum to 3 boys who all attend Seaton Primary School. Having moved from Ireland (by way of many places!) we find ourselves very lucky to live by the coast in Seaton. I joined the Board of Governors because I would like to play a small part in the success of Seaton Primary, helping to provide my own, and other kids, with a great start in life. My husband and I are self-employed, previously I worked in management in the hospitality sector and hope that I can bring skills to the Board that will be useful. As a family we love being outdoors; travelling, camping, swimming, cycling and eating good food!

I am delighted to be part of our governing board here at Seaton Primary, where I have been a teacher for the past 5 years. I thoroughly enjoy teaching here and truly believe we have a wonderful team of staff and children. I became part of the governing board to support our new committee to understand teaching and learning within our school and I am very passionate about working together to achieve the best we can for our school. I grew up in Devon and love living here - the beaches, the community and being surrounded by family and friends. I also teach for a local dance academy, which allows me to delve into the wider community, and in my spare time I enjoy going to the gym, swimming in the sea and spending time with my family. Travelling is a keen interest of mine and I love visiting new places, seeing magnificent landscapes and exploring different cultures.

I have been a member of staff at Seaton for over twenty years. I have always enjoyed the fact that Seaton Primary has played its part in our local community through various events and activities and it has been my privilege to be involved in some of them. I work in Key Stage 2 and lead the singing in school. Away from school, I have 3 children (11 and 9) and a very lively Jack Russell. I enjoy reading, playing the piano and, taking inspiration from my children, Minecraft.

I originally trained to be a teacher in Devon before taking my first teaching post in Crewe, Cheshire where I spent the rest of my career up until recently relocating back to Devon. I am pleased to be back in the South West, nearer to some of my family. I am also delighted to be Headteacher and governor here at Seaton Primary School. I am exciting to lead and strategically work as a team of governors in contributing to the future of the school. My biggest passions in life are my family, especially my nieces and nephews, acting, theatre, the arts, swimming, travelling and exploring the great outdoors.
