Foundation Governor

Mrs Krista Jarrett

I am a parent with children at St Marks school and I am also involved at St Marks church. I have a keen interest with senco and believe that all children with all abilities should have the opportunity to grow and reach their full potential. In my spare time I enjoy reading, gardening,  long walks and a variety of crafts including cross stitch, hand spinning and sewing.

He has previously worked as a school teacher and currently works part-time for St Mark’s Church as their youth leader while teaching RE in local schools via a charity organisation during the rest of the week.

 Co-opted Governors

 

Mr James Gambrill

I am a parent of 3 children currently attending St Marks and have a number of business interests in events, business consultancy and travel. I have a degree in Physics and an MBA reflecting my primary interests in science and business. I am also a keen proponent of lifelong learning having returned to studies in my early 30’s. I strongly believe developing an early love of reading and learning that is so central to the ethos of St Marks is the key to a successful and fulfilling adult life. Outside of work I am keen on a number of sports especially skiing and I often teach schoolchildren at the Bowles dry slope in Eridge.

Parent Governor

Mrs Lynne Doran

I am a parent of children at St Marks CEP School and have been involved with the school since my eldest started in 2011. I am a Chartered Civil Engineer and have worked in the design and construction industry for over 25 years. I have a keen interest in our children, their development and potential for the future. Specifically I am interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and how we can inspire our children to achieve in these subjects even at an early age. I also have a keen interest in healthy eating & lifestyle and the impact this can have on a child’s development and learning.
