Hi, I'm Ness and I am delighted to contribute as a Parent Governor at Crowmarsh, where I currently have two children. I am particularly excited to support the school through my role as subject link for English, History and Music.

I have been a primary school teacher for over 15 years and have experience in senior leadership, as well as leading a number of core subjects. I’m passionate about high quality teaching and learning, and I look forward to using my experience to help strengthen and celebrate the school’s work.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, running, and spending time outdoors.

I am a retired teacher, now an author, who has lived in Crowmarsh for 4 years, but has had connections with the village for over 20 years. Generally to be seen with a beagle, Buddy,in tow.

I am an enthusiastic member of the congregation at St Mary Magdalene Crowmarsh and generally involved fully in the affairs of the local community.

I feel that it is very important to support the church school in the community. I have been a governor for a number of years and volunteer as a teaching assistant at the school, and enjoy both roles.

I have worked at Crowmarsh School for nearly 20 years, teaching in Key Stage 2 and am currently the Year 5 teacher. I am the subject leader for Computing and PSHE, I am also the school Educational Visits Coordinator and hold the required training for that role.

I really enjoy working at Crowmarsh School, alongside brilliant children and a dedicated staff team.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to be staff governor and am keen to play a part in strengthening the working relationship between the staff team and the governing body.

I live in the local area and my son attends Wallingford School.

I’ve lived in Crowmarsh / Wallingford for 14 years and have three children currently at the school.

My family have always taken a keen interest in the direction of the various clubs, schools etc that our children have been involved in. I am passionate to work with the school and other Governor’s, to work through key decisions to shape the future of the school and to further enhance its reputation.

Professionally I am a Project Director with a Tier 1 Contractor leading a diverse team in the delivery of a large Project in West London. I am very keen to share any skills learnt from my workplace to the Governing Body and have a vested interest in Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England Primary School.

I have three daughters, all of whom are loving Crowmarsh Gifford School and have done so since joining. Since my first experience of the school I’ve been excited for them to be educated in such a positive environment and hope that I can be a part of the school’s progress in the years to come. 

Away from my role as a governor, I have been a maths teacher and senior leader for over 15 years and very much enjoy using my holidays for long family trips abroad, to get as much sand or snow time as possible.
