Hade Edge School Governors
Chair of Governors - Erica Kemp
|
I chose Hade Edge School for my children as from our first visit I fell in love with its happy, friendly culture and inclusive and enthusiastic approach to teaching. I feel very privileged to have been able to support the school as a parent governor since 2014 and as Chair of Governors since 2016. My day job as a board director in the environment sector has enabled me to develop skills in governance, leadership and development that I believe add value to the governing body. I also support David, our vice chair on the finance committee and take lead responsibility for Health and Safety and Looked After Children.

Vice Chair - David Craggs
I have lived in the village since 2003 and value the views, facilities and community I feel lucky to be part of. I have worked as a senior leader in financial services for many years and have gained experience that I believe is useful to the running of the school. I chair the Finance Committee, take lead responsibility for Safeguarding, and support Erica as Vice Chair.
Regards,
David

Parent Governor - Nicola Hemmings
I'm mum to Alice and Emma, who joined Hade Edge School in 2021. My girls love coming to school and I have been impressed and reassured by the positive, inclusive environment they enjoy here. I am delighted to be able to contribute to the school's progress as a Parent Governor.
I have worked for over a decade as a university researcher and lecturer in biosciences, leading a scientific research team and directing a major centre for equity and inclusion in higher education. My job has equipped me with a range of experience and skills that I believe are useful for school governance, including project management, data analysis, and leadership.

Parent Governor - Rachael Giles
Hello. I’m Rachael, a secondary school French and German teacher for 13 years, and mum to Lucie and Emily. Originally from a small town near Hull, I moved here when I met my husband, Chris. We have lived in Hade Edge since 2011.
When our children were born, as a full-time mum, I ran our village play group for 4 years. When my children started at our school, I joined the FOHE team of volunteers, and this has enabled me find out so much about the school fundraising plans and get involved in events.
I love my role as Parent Governor.
Parent Governor - Jillian Davidson
I'm Jill and I moved to Hade Edge with my husband and son in 2021. One of the main reasons we chose Hade Edge as a place to settle was the school. I felt the sense of community and friendly, inclusive approach made a place where my son could flourish.
I worked for 15 years in teacher training and educational management for the British Council in Eastern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. I would like to be able to use this experience working in a very progressive field of education to help contribute to the continued success and development of Hade Edge school.
