Rob Stanbridge - Chair of Governors/Parent Governor

I've been a governor at Sheddingdean School for a number of years now with 2 boys both attending the school.

I first became interested in the role following a chat with the head teacher in the playground. I didn't know anything about school governors before I took up the role, but I felt that if there was something I could do to support the school then I'd try my best to make Sheddingdean a great place for my children to learn and have fun. If you have any questions about being a governor or anything you would like to raise, I'll do my best to help.

John Spencer - Co-opted Governor

A father of three children, all who were educated at Sheddingdean. I have lived in Burgess Hill since 1991 and been a governor for over 13 years and enjoy the various tasks we undertake from making sure the budget is balanced, the safety and well-being of everyone and the educational progress and achievement of the children. Change is a constant in education, and I relish the new challenges this brings. Moreover, I enjoy the camaraderie of staff, children and governors at the school, something which is evident the minute you walk through the gates. I work in London and my hobbies include walking our dog in the Weald and the Downs, and travelling across the U. Football is a passion of mine although supporting my home-town club of Blackpool has more downs than ups recently.

Rebecca Johnston - Co-opted Governor

I am always keen to take an active role in supporting my children's schools. Two of my three children have been through the school with one child in Year 6.  I am also a teacher and work on a supply basis in the school too. As a parent Governor, I am a voice for parents and carers to the management of the school, so please share any issues that you wish to raise about any aspects of school life.
