I am delighted to be part of the Hexham First governing body. It is a real pleasure to work with such a great team of school staff but also such delightful children. I will continue to support the whole community in ensuring we give our pupils the best education and life experiences that we can. Please do not hesitate to contact through the school office if I can help with anything at all. I have been a Governor at Hexham First school for many years now. I first got involved with the governing body as both my children attended the school and as a full time working mum it was my way of giving something back to the school. A teacher myself I understand how schools work but also what a vital role they play in their local community. Personally I enjoy walking, going to the theatre and cinema as well as reading. Fiona is our named governor for Safeguarding including Child Protection.

I am an ex-Teacher and Head Teacher now retired. I remain committed to working as part of a team to best provide quality education for all children. I enjoy cycling and the great outdoors as well as spending time with my now extended family.

I am proud to be the Headteacher at Hexham First School. I am committed to providing all our our children with the very best education and school experience.

I am a former solicitor and have been involved in education based voluntary work for a number of years. Whilst my children went to other Hexham schools, I was aware of the reputation of Hexham First School as a happy, nurturing school, ambitious for its pupils. I am keen to do what I can to support this and ensure all the children have as positive experience at school as possible.

I am a headteacher and Senco at a Northumberland primary school. Having previously worked at Hexham First I am keen to continue to support the school as a governor.

I am a Learning support Assistant at Hexham First School and run the breakfast and after school club

My daughters have both attended Hexham First School and during this time I have seen how they thrived and evolved in the fantastic school environment. Because of this and a keen interest in education I decided I wanted to become more involved and give something back to the school by volunteering as a governor. I work part time at a veterinary practice in Hexham and help out on the family farm where I live. I love the outdoors and have a love of environmental education.

All four of my children have attended Hexham First, with two still happily at the school. I became a governor as a way of giving back, as I’m genuinely grateful for the care and education my children have received. I’m passionate about helping our school continue to thrive and ensuring every pupil has the opportunity to succeed. As a long-standing parent, I feel deeply connected to our school community and look forward to working with staff, families, and the wider community to support Hexham First’s ongoing growth and achievements.
