David Lambeth
(LA Governor 19.1.11) Finance/Premises
I have now retired from the finance industry after 49 years. I have been a governor of St. Andrews for the past two years but had previous experience at Hawks Farm Primary School in Hailsham where my three children attended. I am an LEA governor but I do have a grandchild at St. Andrew's at the present time with three other grandchildren attending previously before moving to Tollgate and Bishop Bell. Another grandchild will be starting at the school next September.
Sean Brink
(Co-opted 17.10.12) Staffing/Standards
My name is Sean Brink, I am one of the Parent Governors. I have three children. The eldest attends Tollgate Community Junior School having completed her 3 years at St Andrews in 2012. My son is currently a student here and my youngest daughter will start her St Andrews journey in the Autumn of 2014. By the time all of my children leave I will have been a regular in the playground for 8 consecutive years.
I work full time as a doctor in East Sussex and help as a medic with the local St John's Ambulance service.
My family and I enjoy long walks throughout Sussex, trips to the Theatre and jumping in muddy Puddles!
Rose Campbell
(Co-opted 17.10.12) Staffing/Premises
My name is Rose Campbell. I have worked at St Andrews CofE Infants School since November 2004. I am currently a teaching assistant in a reception class but have previously worked in year 1 for several years. I also assist in the school office.
I am the mother of 2 children who are now 18 and 16. My daughter is studying A levels at Sussex Downs college and my son is in his last year at school studying hard for his GCSE's.
I became a governor as I believe in the ethos of the school and wanted to help the Head Teacher to ensure the future success of the school.
Father David King
(Foundation 8.12.08) Curriculum/Premises/Standards
Fr David is the Vicar of St Andrew's Church and Foundation Governor of the school. He is married to Hilary and has four children. Fr David was ordained in 2000 and before that was a teacher, teaching Infants at a school in Crawley for 5 years before working at a school for children with Cerebral Palsy for a further 3 years. In the little spare time he has he enjoys cycling and playing badminton (not at the same time!) He is passionate about education and is delighted to be a Governor of this excellent school.
Mark Simmons
(Parent 1.12.13) Standards
I am a committed Christian and regular church goer. I am married and have 2 children who attend the St Andrew's and who both really enjoy every aspect of their school life. I enjoy all sports, especially watching and playing football. I am employed as a housing manager in a YMCA project for homeless young people in Eastbourne. I volunteered to be a governor hoping that I would be able to contribute in some way to the running of a really good school and that my experience and skills would be a positive benefit to the school. I also hope to give something back to the school that has looked after and taught my children so well.
Ann Almeida
(Staff 1.1.14) Premises
I have taught at St. Andrew's for many years and I am currently teaching in Year 1, having moved from Year 2 in September. My areas of responsibility are Art, Gifted & Talented, Health & Safety and at present the Year 1 Co-ordinator. As a governor I am on the Premises Sub Committee and my subject responsibility is Art.
Jackie Bignell
Chair (Co-opted 17.10.13) Finance/Premises/Staffing
I have worked in the finance industry for 33 years latterly as a senior manager. I am a parent of two grown up children who both attended St. Andrew's and I have been a governor at the school for 18 years. I also run a local amateur dramatics group working with adults from different backgrounds, making music and drama accessible to people of all abilities. I have an ongoing passion to support St. Andrew's in being the best it possibly can be. Together we are a family with our children being central to all we do.
