Greens Norton CE Primary School

Ruth Fox - Community Governor - Chair of Governors

It's a privilege being a community governor for Greens Norton CE School and its dedicated leaders and staff. Working alongside the other members of the Academy Governance Committee, I'm passionate about ensuring we're listening to and understanding all members of our school community, ultimately with the aim of providing the best possible education for our pupils. In my day job I help different types of organisations deliver change, and often draw on this experience when supporting the school.  

Tom Leeming - Parent Governor - Vice chair of Governors

Living in the Village and having children at the School has given me the opportunity to support the School’s evolution through being a Governor. I take a keen interest in and I am responsible for monitoring the sports provision in order to ensure the children have an opportunity to experience different sports in their early years and hopefully develop a passion for them as I have. I have also been involved with the refurbishment of the mobile classroom, estate matters and other capital projects. I am always on the lookout for more funds to help ensure the School provides a safe, pleasant and inspiring learning space. 

Revd Paula Challen - Church Governor

I was appointed the Rector of the Tove Benefice in September 2019, having previously been the curate since 2014. The Tove Benefice is a group of 5 churches which includes St Bartholomew’s in Greens Norton.  I regularly am invited in to all the local schools to lead collective worship and assemblies, I am also a community governor at Sponne School. My main focus within the two local church schools is to support the headteachers in having a clear vision of our Christian Distinctiveness. Within my role as a governor at Greens Norton CE Primary I hope to build on the great relationship that the school has with the church and continue to support its Christian ethos.  I enjoy working alongside the children and staff to support them during their time at  Greens Norton CE Primary.

Lucy Sanger- Parent Governor

I became a governor at the beginning of 2020 and currently have a daughter at the school.  I have previous experience as a governor during my son's time at the school and gained a great deal of knowledge and experience throughout that time. I am keen to further that knowledge, as well as support and work with all members of the school community to help provide the best possible education in a safe and happy environment.

Andrew Phillips - Community Governor

I have lived in Greens Norton since 2014 but before then lived in Towcester for most of my life so this is a community that I feel part of, and continue to actively participate in. Our son has just started in reception class and our daughter is attending a local nursery and will start the school in a few years time. Now felt like the perfect opportunity  to become a Governor and show my commitment and support to the school. I look forward to supporting school leaders and staff to enrich the safe and welcoming learning environment the school provides the children and families in our community.

Anne-Marie Koroma

I have worked in the Youth Justice Service and Education for many years.  My role involves safeguarding and responding to the needs of children, particularly children from disadvantaged backgrounds and those that have experienced childhood trauma.  I look forward to using my experience to support the school leadership team and community to continue to achieve the best outcomes for children.  My son attends the school, and I am impressed by the hard work that goes into providing a supporting and nurturing environment for children.  I am also drawn to the strong vision and values that Greens Norton CE primary school hold and look forward to my role on the Governor’s Board.
