Meet the Governors

Danny is an ex police officer who worked on the Marine Policing Unit in London. 

He was the Safeguarding Link Governor from 2016 - 2023 and has also sat in the same post at Kings Academy Ringmer. 

He is a father to two boys who attended Ringmer Primary and Nursery School. He is the Club Welfare Officer for both Ringmer Rovers JFC and Ringmer AFC. 

My son joined Ringmer Primary and Nursery School in Starfish class in September 2022, and I became a parent governor in February 2023.

I live in Ringmer with my husband and our two children. I’m outnumbered in my house by boys 3:1 so have had to develop interests in football and the Marvel universe so as not to feel completely left out! 

I am a Programme Coordinator for the Local Resilience Forum and through my work have developed a keen interest in strategic governance. I’m looking forward to bringing my skill set and enthusiasm to the Board of Governors at Ringmer. 

I joined the Board as a parent governor, and have now become a Co-opted Governor. I work in the education sector for NAHT the professional association for leaders in education. This gives me access to a lot of information and knowledge that help me be a good critical friend and helping achieve the schools vision. I believe that academic achievement is important but needs to be balanced. I take a holistic view of a school; it is important that school staff as well as our children are happy and encouraged. I want our school to help create well-rounded individuals who can make a success in the world and contribute in a positive way.

My role at NAHT is in recruitment and I have experience of managing budgets and leading teams. Before working for the NAHT I worked for a large not for profit leisure trust. I think this experience has helped me develop skills in management, finance and communication. I enjoy being a part of the governor team and supporting the school staff discharge their responsibilities effectively.

I have played an active role in Ringmer Primary and Nursery School since 2008, initially as a parent, then treasurer of the PTA, a role I enjoyed for 5 years and since 2016 as a Governor, another hugely rewarding role. I am currently a co-opted Governor as my children are now in higher education.

I have been a Manager for a high street bank for over 25 years and I relish bringing my skills and experience in leadership and people management to support, challenge and develop the school team.

In my spare time, you will often find me on the Green in summer playing Stoolball for our village team and in winter, on the side of a Hockey pitch watching one of my family in their sporting endeavour's. 

I joined the Governing Board in June 2025 as a Parent Governor. 

I am an EYFS practitioner at Ringmer Primary and Nursery School. I started working in the school as a Playground Leader and a Teaching Assistant and in September 2023 took a new role in the Nursery with the younger children.

I became the new staff governor in September 2022.

I have one child at Ringmer Primary and Nursery School, and one that is just starting at Kings Academy and I am a member of the PTA. I also coach football with Ringmer Rovers and I have strong links to the village community due to growing up in Ringmer.

I joined the board in March 2025. 

I am privileged to join Ringmer Primary School as an co-opted Member after a year of being an Associate Governor.

With local ties to the village and two children I wanted to use my professional experience to assist the school and the board in planning strategic direction, driving performance and, ultimately, helping our pupils achieve.

I have a son at Ringmer Primary who started in September 2022, and a daughter who will start Reception in September 2026. 

I am a Maths Teacher at a local independent school and have worked in a variety of school settings since 2013. I have also had management responsibilities within schools which have developed my interest and skill for strategic thinking.

I joined the Governing Board in May 2025 as a Trust Governor.
