Hambledon Primary School Governors

Hambledon Primary School has a dedicated and enthusiastic team of governors with representatives from several groups including parents, the community and local authority. The purpose of the governing body is to help the school deliver the best possible education by fulfilling the following principle objectives;

 

  • Setting the school’s vision, strategic aims and policies

  • Monitoring and evaluating performance

  • Ensuring the school is accountable to all its stakeholders

Our Governing Body 

We are active in many development areas within the school whilst fulfilling our role in ‘overseeing’ the school’s progress, attending monitoring visits and providing a ‘critical friend’ role to the school as a whole. We have a flat structure governing body where every governor attends all of the meetings. The 10 FGB meetings are scheduled to meet statutory deadlines and data drops, and cover school finances, curriculum and teaching standards. Having a flat governance structure ensures that all governors have a full understanding of all aspects of school life. 

 

We currently have vacancies on our governing body and are looking for enthusiastic individuals who have the time and energy to commit to helping us strategically support and oversee Hambledon Primary School.  If you would like further information please contact us at governing.body@hambledon.hants.sch.uk

About Us:

Jana Murray 

Chair of Governing Body

Development and Training Governor

Leadership and Management/Resources Lead/Sustainability (SIP)

English Link Governor

My background is in television and video production, photography and writing. I also have business and finance skills, having managed my own production company for almost twenty years. I made a midlife career change during the pandemic and now work fulltime in school governance at Hampshire Governor Services. 

 

Caroline Crowe

Co-opted Governor
Strategy Lead/Quality of Teaching Lead (SIP)

Staff Wellbeing
I have a background in research and communications, transferable skills that I can use to benefit the school across many areas. As a children's author, I can offer help with the school's library provision. I also have an interest in SEN provision.

 

Dominic McGrath 

Local Authority Governor

Attendance/Behaviour Lead (SIP)

I am a Senior Manager in Local Government and my experience includes budget management, recruitment, policy development and political liaison. I am also Chair of Governors at Crescent Primary School. 

 

Guy Ladenburg

Co-opted Governor 

Foundation Subject Governor

My family moved to Hambledon in 2020. My daughter previously attended Hambledon Primary. I am a practising barrister and this is my first role as a governor.

 

Marishelle Butler

Co-opted Governor

Safeguarding/Health and Safety Governor

Pupil Development (SIP)

I have worked within a small independent company in Hambledon for the past 14 years. As part of the Hambledon community I have been aware of the importance of the school within the community and its considerable benefit to the area. This is my first role as a governor.

 

Matt Darby

Parent Governor 

Maths Link Governor

This is my first time acting as a governor. I work as a vet and veterinary manager in the charity sector, so hopefully there will be some transferable skills when it comes to maximising a tight budget. I have one child at Hambledon Primary and two more to join in the coming years, so I will be sticking around like a limpet on an exposed coastal rock, meaning governorship seemed a sensible route for me to take to ensure that it continues to be a great place for our youngsters to develop.
