Rebecca Orchard

I have been a parent governor for 3 years and chair for the last year. My son has just moved on from Haresfield. I live in the neighbouring village of Hardwicke and work from home as a Registered Osteopath. I bring 8 years of teaching experience in tertiary education. I was also part of the interviewing and evaluating committee at the univeristy where I worked. My skills in the governing are being a good team member, an organised and proactive person. I am passionate about helping to take the school forward, maintaining the high level of teaching and learning and providing the whole school community a fun, safe and stimulating environment in which to work.

Revd Richard Amys – Ex-officio Foundation Governor
I am the local Rector, and have been a governor since I came to the area in 1999. I visit the school regularly to lead assemblies, which I also do at the two other schools in my benefice of six churches. The church has good and close contacts with the school, as one would expect in a school the church founded, and I look for ways for the church to continue supporting the school in this day and age.

Caroline Segelov – Foundation Governor

I have lived in the village for more than 20 years and both my children really enjoyed their school years at Haresfield. I work as a school nurse with responsibility for several primary and secondary schools; I am one of the church wardens of St. Peter’s church. I enjoy reading, listening to music, walking, yoga and spending time with my friends and family, especially the company of my very active 1 year old grandson.

Graeme Flory-Kish - Community Governor

My wife and I moved to Haresfield in September 2001. I have one daughter who attends the school who is presently in her second year. I am an active member of the village community and sit as Vice Chairman of Haresfield Parish Council. I have a Design & Project Management Consultancy working within the retail and construction industry, my experiences were best placed within the Health & Safety Committee which I presently chair.

Becoming a Governor will hopefully give me a better understanding of the educational programme, will channel my energies/knowledge to assist in the continual improvements of the school and also provide a closer link between the school and the villagers.

Angela Williams - Parent Governor

I have lived in Haresfield since January 2001 and have a son who attends the school

The experience I bring to the Governing Body is 20+ years of working with Government Organisations and with commercial Government suppliers. I now have my own company specialising in IT Security Consultancy and as well as providing consultancy I do all my own bookkeeping and financial management. I became a Governor because I wanted to support the school in what ever way I could in achieving and maintaining an outstanding standard in which all pupils can thrive.

Ian Mounce - Parent Governor

My wife and I moved to the Gloucester area around 1989. We have a son and daughter attending Haresfield School and they both enjoy the learning and social side of the school. I grew up and was educated in Exeter. At the age of 15, I joined the Army Junior Leaders Regiment and carried on my education until I was 17¹/_2.On leaving the Army, I went into Management for a large tyre distributor and subsequently took some senior management positions within the Fork Lift Industry. I am now in a Business Partnership in Bristol.

Chris Wilkes - Parent Governor

My daughter attends Haresfield School, loves it and is learning lots in Reception; hopefully my son will too when his turn comes. My wife and I have lived in the Golden Valleys for the best part of 14 years and have put down permanent roots in the community. I became a parent Governor at the end of 2010 because I wanted to contribute to and support the school to help ensure that it maintains a high standard and an environment in which children and staff can thrive. I have 20 years experience running large IT Consultancy businesses and keep bees in my spare time.

Alec Jeakins - Foundation Governor

I have been a Churchwarden at St Peter's from June 20o8 and a Foundation Governor from October 2010. I was born & brought up in London. I worked in post- production in film & television until 1995 and have been a house husband since then. We moved to Gloucestershire in 1997. I served on the governing body of Wynstones Steiner Waldorf School 2000-2006.

I am a parent of three children: one is a graduate now working and the others are an undergraduate & a sixthformer. My wife teaches Mathematics in a Gloucester secondary school.
