Lynne Curtis: I have taught in a wide range of schools, both in the state and the private sector, in London and in Surrey, full time, part-time and as a supply teacher.  Over the years I have taught children of all abilities, from Reception age to Year 6, and for the five years before I retired I was a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator. 

I have two children and five young grandchildren and have lived in Hurst Green for over 40 years.

Victoria Deakin: I currently have a child at the school (Year 1) and one who has recently left and was keen to give something back to the school by becoming a parent governor. I have had experience of working with children as a former Brownie leader and bringing STEM into schools within my job. 

As a Coastal Engineer and Project Manager, I have developed key skills that will support this role including data analysis, budgeting, planning, evaluation of projects, health and safety and working in a team. I feel my professional skills, combined with my passion will allow me to make a difference to the school. 

Sue Bosley: When my own children were young, I loved going into school as a parent helper. Then I qualified as a primary school teacher and worked mainly in Key Stage 1 for ten years before becoming the children and families worker for my church in Wallington. I recently came to live in Hurst Green when I was appointed as the vicar of St John's church.

Sam Dawson: Moving here almost 3 years ago from London, I was keen to become a more involved member of the community. Having fallen in love with Hurst Green school, the staff, the outdoorsy vibe, the chickens, the pastoral emphasis (I have a child in Year 1) I was keen to see how I could help get involved.

I'm naturally curious and operationally minded and have a network of close friends and family who are teachers or in education (to glean insights from!) which I really believe gives me strong foundations to help guide the future of the school, and give back to the community. 

Susan Anderson: I am delighted to be on the governing board at Hurst Green as I fell in love with the school the very first time I came to visit. I currently have a child in year 1 at the school and I also work as a year 1 teacher and Early Years Lead in a primary school. I am committed to supporting the school in continuing to improve and providing a wonderful education and experience for all of the children who attend.
