Meet the Governors


Chiltern Primary School governors are an active group who represent the community that the school serves.  Working closely with the Headteacher and leadership team to set the future direction of the school; to act as a ‘critical friend’ by challenging policy and practice, as well as providing advice and support. 

 

The governing body at Chiltern Primary School is made up of 12 members.  Each governor is elected for a period of 4 years and is made up of the following representatives:
 

  • Parent Governors
  • Co-opted Governors
  • Local Authority Governors
  • Staff Governors, both teaching and non-teaching.


The governing body is there to help the school in achieving high standards in education and raise expectations as we are interested in every child’s welfare to make sure that your child is safe, enjoys coming to school, achieves well and loves to learn. Governorship is open to anyone, and although there is a degree of commitment required it is very rewarding to see the children leave the school with the appropriate skills to carry them on in their lives.

My name is Louse Floyd and I am currently the chair of the governing body. I joined the governing body as a parent governor 7 years ago and have had the school to parent experience from yr R to 6. I live within the local community and have become a familiar face to many of the pupils I’m lucky enough to meet.

 

Outside of school, I work in a senior sales role promoting software within the power and energy industry. I have seen a number of changes, challenges, successes and disappointments within my time on the governing body, yet every time the school community pick itself up and strives to take the school to a higher level. I have a firm belief that every child should be encouraged and supported to obtain their best ability. I have the pleasure to work alongside people within our governing body who are fully committed to Chiltern Primary School.

Co-opted Governor

Term of Office

Meetings attended

I am Stewart Savage and have been a Co-opted Governor at Chiltern since 2019.  I joined the team of Governors when I relocated to Basingstoke in the same year.  I have always had the desire to become a  Governor and having settled in Basingstoke I took the opportunity to join the team.

 

I believe it is important to be an advocate not only for the school but also for the children and parents/carers of the school as well.  In my role as Governor, I am also the dedicated Safeguarding Governor.  I am passionate about education and learning and believe it should never stop.  Since becoming a Governor I can say that I have been on a learning journey as well.

 

From a personal point, I am a parent to three children of varying different ages with the youngest child navigating year 3 whilst the eldest lives abroad and keen trekker.  Work-wise I work in aviation having worked in several different roles.  Currently, I work in Aircraft Operations for Heathrow Airport.
