NICKI JARVIS

Parent Governor / Vice Chair

erm of Office 13/06/23 - 12/06/27

I joined the governing body in June 2023 as a parent governor and recently moved into the village. With 2 children at the school (in Ash and Oak classes) and as a volunteer with the PTFA, I wanted to help the school to perform at its best and help where I can with my business knowledge (as a Director in a professional services firm). I'm looking forward to spending more time in school and with the other governors to help develop and drive the school strategy and vision.
