NICKI JARVIS
PARENT GOVERNOR / VICE CHAIR
Term 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.
RUTH SHIRLEY
CO-OPTED GOVERNOR
Term of Office 22/05/23 - 21/05/27
I joined the Governing Body in June 2023 as a Co-opted Governor. At this time, my child was about to start at Andoversford Primary School in Reception. I live locally to the village and my background is in Primary Teaching (classroom based) and then running a nurture base in a large mainstream primary school. More recently I have started teaching students with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties in a local, Cheltenham based college. I look forward to supporting the hard-working staff at Andoversford, within my role as a Governor, and am excited to be a part of this team.
