My wife and I have 3 children at Seaton Primary School and I was previously a member of the PTA.

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.

Vice Chair Teaching & Learning

I am delighted to be part of our governing board here at Seaton Primary, where I have been a teacher for the past 7 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. As a governing board, we are striving to support the school at a strategic level and I am linked with one of our key school improvement priorities this year – writing. 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. .

Staff Governor

E-safety Governor

H & S/Premises Lead

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 (14 and 11) and a very lively Jack Russell. I enjoy reading, playing the piano and, taking inspiration from my children, Minecraft and Pokémon Go.

Clerk to Governors

I became the Clerk to Governors since March 2021, when Seaton Primary School became a standalone school. I undertook the role as I have a long association with the school as I was attended the school for my Primary School Years and wanted to show my commitment to the school. I was at the school when this opened on the current site in 1981. My two children also attended Seaton Primary School.

Outside of school life our family enjoys travelling, walking our dog and have started to complete the south west coast path.

I hope to continue to support the school whilst I undertake my role as Clerk to the Governors.

Headteacher

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.
