MAT Governor – appointed by the BWMAT
Term of Office: 11/11/21 – 10/11/25
“I am proud to serve as a governor at Wembdon St George’s Church School, a role I have continued even after my children left the school in July 2024. Remaining involved allows me to give back to a community that has meant so much to my family.
My background is in primary education, where I taught for many years and held the position of staff governor. Before relocating to Somerset, I was also Chair of Governors at a school in Reading, an experience that deepened my understanding of school leadership and governance.
I now work for a local charity that supports children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This role keeps me closely connected to educational policy and practice, and I am passionate about ensuring that all children have access to the support and opportunities they need to thrive.
It’s a privilege to contribute to the ongoing development of Wembdon St George’s, supporting the staff, children, and wider school community.”

“I am an Ex-officio foundation governor which means I represent the vicar of St Georges Church and have been appointed by the Archbishop of the Bath and Wells Diocese. I with my husband Andy have been active members of the church since we moved to Bridgwater in 1979 and I have helped run the Sunday morning children`s groups for the last 35 years well as having many other roles in the church, I currently run the toddler group on Thursday mornings.
We have 3 daughters who went to the school and during their time there I was a Parent Governor and later became a Foundation Governor, I am now a very `hands on Grandma` as I look after my 3 grandchildren when our youngest daughter is at work, her 2 daughters are in Key Stage 1 and her little son has just celebrated his second birthday so am a familiar face on the `school run`. I am also involved with the school Prayer Hour twice a term which I believe makes a difference to the day to day life of the school.”
