Chair of Governors Kate Parker Co-opted Governor kate.parker@mossbury.herts.sch.uk
|
I had 10 years previous experience in the early years ages 0-11 years, and achieved early years professional status.
I currently work within the local area alongside multi agencies to safeguard the community. I have 1 child at the school, so I would like to support and encourage Moss Bury to be the best it can be for all of the school community.

Vice Chair of Governors Steve Kiss Co-opted Governor steve.kiss@mossbury.herts.sch.uk
|
I worked for many years in a large corporate environment managing the delivery of IT services. For the last 5 years I managed a large departmental budget. My career progression was in part due to the education I received.
After I retired, I wanted to continue to use the skills and experience I had gained to help within our community.
I firmly believe that all children deserve a good education and that this education will help them get the best opportunities in their adult lives. I also believe that the social and behavioural skills children learn at school are equally important. I joined as a governor to support the school in their work to educate and train our children.

Lisa Smith Staff Governor |
I qualified as a teacher in 2006 and have been a teacher here at Moss Bury for the last 13 years. I have always had a special place in my heart forwarding in Early Years and whilst I am currently teaching in Reception, I am also the Assistant Head with responsibility for Early Years and Key Stage 1. I grew up in the local area and have lived in Stevenage all my life so wanted to be on the Governing body to find out more about the inner-workings of this amazing school, and to be a voice for the staff and children whilst also having the wider community at heart.

Clare Churchill Associate Governor clare.churchill@mossbury.herts.sch.uk
|
I joined HCC H&S Team in 2015 and have worked for HCC for over seven years. In addition I have a degree in Health and Sports Studies and previous background and qualifications in Human Resources. It was following a H & S audit of Moss Bury Primary in 2018, that I asked if I could assist the school further by becoming a Governor for the school. Moss Bury is a local school to myself, and there is such a lovely feel to the school, but the building has been left behind. I knew that any additional efforts to bring the school buildings to a standard equivalent to the welcome in the school, would be time well spent and has been a pleasure so far. I will enjoy being a small part of a great transformation for the school under new leadership.

Leanne Samson Parent Governor |
I’m a mum of two, who cares deeply about creating an environment where every child can enjoy learning and feel supported.
I work for a software company, helping businesses put systems in place to improve the way they work—making things more efficient, traceable, and effective.
I joined the governing board to bring fresh ideas and a positive outlook, and to play a part in helping the school continue to be a place where all children can thrive and feel happy.

Joe Beaumont Parent Governor Joe.Beaumont@mossbury.herts.sch.uk |
I'm a parent at Moss Bury and chose to become a governor because I care about our children and our school. I want to make sure that our kids have the best possible education and that our school continues to be a place where everyone feels welcome and supported.
I’m detail-oriented, I know data protection, and can quickly understand complex problems. With a background in marketing and management, I don't mind asking the hard questions, and have a great knack for finding good solutions. This might sound a bit boring, but they’re skills that will serve me well in making sure Moss Bury is being the absolute best it can be.
