I live in the village and two of my three children currently attend the school. I have 13 years teaching experience working in secondary school education, predominately key stage 4 & 5 and I am enjoying the opportunity to apply my skills at primary level.

Whilst my children have grown-up, my daughter is now a primary school teacher in Bristol. I am an engineer, working for a major aerospace company in Bristol.

I became a governor in September 2019 coinciding with my daughter starting in reception. I am a doctoral researcher at the University of Exeter, specialising in French and Francophone cinema, and have been teaching in higher education since 2010. My role of governor gives me a valuable opportunity to extend my experience of education into the primary sector. I am from Hullavington originally, and have returned to live here with my husband and two children.

I live in Hullavington and help in school with the Open the Book team. I taught in primary schools for 40 years, 20 as a headteacher and, prior to retiring, was head at The Rissington School in Gloucestershire.
RACHAEL BAKER
As a mother of two children attending Hullavington School, I am pleased to have joined the Governor committee as a co-opted governor at the start of the 2023 school year. My background is in marketing for a number of global companies, of which I’m hoping that there are many transferable skills that I can utilise in this role. I’ve recently relocated to Hullavington, and believe that it’s a brilliant village, of which the school is very much at the heart of the community.
NATALIE JONES
I have recently moved back to the area and delighted my children are able to join Hullavington school. I joined the Governor committee as LEA Governor in September 2023. I have worked in secondary education for over 10 years and look forward to supporting a primary setting.
