I have lived very happily in Stretham for many years now and am thrilled to be a governor of Stretham Primary School. Being involved in such an important aspect of the local community is incredibly rewarding, and I am pleased to be part of a team that strive to make the school as successful as it can be. Having taught for nearly 20 years and being Deputy Head of a Cambridge prep school, I am hopefully able to bring some complimentary educational insight to the board. 

 

 

I moved to Stretham in 2020. My family and I were attracted to the village by the warm and welcoming community.

I have experience working in the public sector, including policy formation and using data to support evidence-led decision-making. 

I was previously the chair of the Tiddlywinks Pre-school committee and, with my son now attending the school, I chose to become a governor so that I can support the education and development of the young members of our community.

My name is Simon Garth-Greeves. I work as a civil servant with the DVSA. After moving into Stretham in 2021 and being given a very warm welcome, I decided I wanted to give back to the community. Joining the school governing board providing guidance to the school, I believe, is a fantastic opportunity to give back to such a strong community. I look forward to supporting the school and local community to the best of my abilities.

 

It is my privilege to work alongside our dedicated governing body, whose commitment, expertise, and vision help shape the future of our school. Together, we share a clear purpose: to ensure every child is safe, happy, and inspired to achieve potential together as a school family.

Our governors bring a wealth of experience from different walks of life, offering challenge, support, and strategic guidance. They work tirelessly behind the scenes—scrutinising our progress, championing our values, and ensuring that every decision we make is in the best interests of our pupils and community.

As the new Headteacher, I am proud of the strong partnership we have already built. This collaboration ensures that our school not only meets high standards but also nurtures our values of courage, compassion, curiosity, resilience and inclusion.

Details coming soon...

Having been a member of staff for 8 years, I have very close links to members of the Stretham community and I have taken on key roles within the school. I have lived local to Stretham for many years, and I am proud to work at the school. I am thrilled to represent the staff at Stretham Primary as school governor. I strongly believe the children at our school deserve the very best start with their education and I will endeavour to do what I can to support this outcome. 

 

 

 

 

  

I am currently in my third year as a Governance Professional with Cambridgeshire County Council, providing clerking support to a number of schools across Cambridgeshire. I advise governing boards on governance procedures, support the effective conduct of meetings, and help ensure statutory requirements are met.

Before becoming a clerk, I spent over 20 years in various administrative and Personal Assistant roles within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, supporting senior leaders and management teams. I am passionate about helping governing boards work effectively so they can focus on achieving the best outcomes for children and young people.

Having become a Co-opted Governor in 2024, I am proud to be able to support Stretham Primary School. I live in neighbouring Wilburton and work for the Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce. Part of my role is connecting businesses with education providers to deliver positive outcomes for the next generation, and I hope to bring some of those skills, amongst others, to support the school. I look forward to working with fellow governors and staff to create a happy and sustainable school for the Stretham community.
