Andrea HodgesFoundation Governor (ID 1215448) |
| Chair of Governing Body RE and Collective Worship Governor |
|
| It was an obvious decision to stand as a governor due to my family connection with the school – with my daughters being the forth generation to attend the school. I wanted to help support the development of the school for the future generations to come.
I come with nearly 20 experience of working in the Health sector and I am currently an operational manager in the NHS. I also have experience in both the finance and legal sectors. I am very proud of being the chair of governors for Twyford. We are a small team who are passionate about the whole school community and we enjoy playing an active part in school life – whether that is spending time in the classroom or helping on school trips! Term of office from 30 Sep 2020 to 29 Sep 2024 |

Darryl HoodFoundation Governor |
| As an HR Manager working in STEM, I have a vested professional desire to see all young people given the very best educational opportunities – one day, they’ll be my workforce!!! Having moved to the village in 2021, I’ve been very keen to be as involved in Twyford life as possible, and this seemed to be a wonderful chance to contribute both to the village, but also support our young people, not least of all as this generation come through the post-COVID world. Being former Church Youth Worker from my time living in Aylesbury, the fact that the school is a Church of England school and has such a genuine and close connection to St Mary’s is very much a huge bonus.
Outside of professional life, I’m a keen amateur Astronomer, working with the MK based charity “UK Astronomy” to bring a sense of awe and wonder to people who may not have ever had the chance to use telescopes to see the stars and planets before. I can also frequently be found trying to keep fit by running along the roads and through the fields surrounding Twyford. Term of office from 7 Nov 2023 to 6 Nov 2027 |

Carrie DeeleyParent Governor (ID 1410369) |
| Vice Chairman Pupil Premium, SMSC and Early Years Governor |
|
| With one daughter already at the school and another hopefully starting next year I was very keen to give something back to the school which is helping to educate and shape our girls. I was keen to be involved with a Church school that maintains the Christian values I hold close, and am keen to be involved in shaping the education of young children who are so important to our world.In my working life I used to be an Interior Designer before having the girls. Having met my husband, I now live on a busy farm, feeding calves, doing accounts and running a B&B. I hope to bring some of the skills I have learnt in those varied roles to help my role as a Governor.
As Pupil Premium Governor I am responsible for liaising with the staff and reporting back to the Governors on the progress of Pupil Premium pupils and their changing needs. Ensuring that the school is using the Pupil Premium grant to best aid those particular pupils who require extra support. Term of office from 12 Nov 2022 to 11 Nov 2026 |

As a Parent Governor, with three children in the School, I am invested and passionate about all students receiving the best education possible at Twyford School. In my previous role as a secondary school form tutor and teacher Design and Technology, I gained valuable experience in pastoral care, child and curriculum development and assessment, and firmly believe in the importance of practical skills and hands-on learning.

So I am excited to be working collaboratively with my fellow governors, teachers, and support staff to continue providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for the students. In addition to my professional experience, I am active member of my church, and was also a co-founder of a charity for mothers, and ran a thriving mums and toddlers group for many years.
