About Our Governors 

John Malone

Chair of Governors 

I have worked within Further Education for over thirteen years. Much of this time was at a senior manager level with responsibility for a Faculty with around sixty staff and in the region of 800 students. Within this role I gained vast experience of budget management, staff performance management, curriculum development and quality assurance systems. I also qualified as a Further Education teacher.

 I now run my own Education Consultancy, providing a range of services to Further Education colleges.

 

Annette Goodfellow

Vice-Chair of Governors

I joined the Governing Body in February 2019 as a Co-opted Governor and sit on the Learning & Achievement Committee and the Premises Committee. I have responsibility for Health and Safety and Attendance governance.  I currently work part time for a small firm as a property manager. I feel primary education is a really important part of a child's development, both socially and academically. In the past, I have also been a regular reading volunteer at the school.

Alex Friend

I became a co-opted governor in 2019. I have had two children go through the school and in that time I have been a member of the PTA and Parent Forum.  I hope to help the school as best I can for both staff and pupils. I have an interest in SEN as a parent of a child with special educational needs. I look forward to continuing my relationship with the school and the opportunity to help Exning continue to be the outstanding school that it is.

 

Helen Arnold

I am a Parent Governor resident in Exning and with a son in KS1. I have been a member of the Governing Body since February 2019 and am a member of the Learning and Achievement Committee. I am an academic working in Higher Education as a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Hertfordshire. I am passionate about education and the pupil/student learning experience, advocating high quality teaching and support across all levels of provision.

 

Bryony Needham

I have a public sector background and have worked in Local Government for over 18 years. I am currently working as a Waste Partnership Manager in Cambridgeshire and volunteer as the Leader for the Beavers Scouting Colony in Exning. I have three children at Exning Primary school.

 

David Bicker

I became a co-opted governor in 2021 and have a child at Exning school.  I am a member of the Finance & Personnel and Premises committees and I am also the Named Safeguarding Governor – responsible for oversight of the school’s approach to embedding safeguarding children into everything the school does.

Exning school is an outstanding setting and important to the Exning village community. I can see that children clearly enjoy attending the school and benefiting from the opportunities it affords them, both inside and outside the classroom.  I hope to use my time as a governor to help the school continue to improve those opportunities and the experiences of all children and their wider families.

 

Oliver Lambert

When my daughter joined Exning in 2022, I was delighted to be able to contribute to the school by joining the governing body as a co-opted governor. In terms of my professional background, I initially worked in insurance as a trainee actuary, but moved into education in 2009. I am now the Deputy Headteacher of an outstanding secondary school in Cambridge.

 

Jonathan Wyn-Beer

Having relocated to Exning from across the country in 2018 for work, in 2022 I became the LA Governor for the school. My background is in Medical Engineering and I am responsible for quality management in the medical device development branch of a generics pharmaceutical company. I have additional interests in sports and music and hope to contribute back to the welcoming community my family has joined.
