I am the Headteacher at Deerhurst and Apperley School. I took over the school in September 2015.  I have been in education since 2002 but before that I was a member of the Police Service and spent my last years in the Criminal Investigation department. Having my two sons gave me the opportunity to develop my interests in education. I took my PGCE and then went on to complete the National Primary Qualification of Headteacher and the rest is history!

I am passionate about everything I do.  My interests include reading, walking and spending breaks in Cornwall with my husband. We have a lovely little West Highland terrier who is a valued member of our family along with three cats, one of which was a rescue cat brought home by my youngest son!

 

My wife, Ruth, and I have 6 children with four of them currently at Deerhurst and Apperley. As the school is such an important part of their lives, we wanted to be involved in helping the school succeed. I have been a governor for the past 3 years and Ruth has been running the school choir for nearly ten years.

I have recently been elected as the Chair of Governors, and also participate on the Finance and Premises Committee.

My career has mostly been spent in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, and I currently manage a small medical company based in Cheltenham.

It’s a privilege to be part of a wonderful school. I enjoy working with the governors and staff to ensure all pupils at Deerhurst and Apperley can reach their full potential whilst enjoying their time at the school.

 

My name is Eve Perry, I joined the Governing body as Staff Governor in September. I am the Class One teacher and joined the school in April 2011.

I have two young daughters and I enjoy spending family time with them and my husband, going for walks and bike rides. I also enjoy theatre, line dancing and zumba!

Revd Canon Barbara Messham Priest in Charge of Severnside Benefice, Associate Vicar of Tewkesbury Abbey and Canon Emeritus of Guildford Cathedral.

My role as Vice chair of Governors also includes being a member of the Ethos, Admissions and Grievance Committees. Before ordination I was a teacher of mathematics for 11-18 year olds and also enjoyed teaching hockey, tennis and athletics after school! I still enjoy sport and am an honorary vice president of the Apperley Cricket Club where you’ll find me on a Saturday afternoon when I don’t have weddings.

I am proud that we are a school that focusses on the whole child and incredibly proud of all the staff at the school who work so hard to ensure that each child reaches their full potential. All the governors are very approachable and here to be a critical friend to Mrs Neveu and would be pleased to hear from you if you have anything you’d like more information on. You can contact us through the school office.

New Governor, background in electronics and computer engineering. I have been working with Children of all ages for over 20 years within children’s theatres and scouting, I have one child at school and hopefully one joining in a couple of years.

 

I have been a Foundation Governor for a number of years representing the Church Council on the Governing body. I have worked in education for most of my life overseas, on an aid project, in Australia and in the UK. I have held senior positions in several schools and was formerly a Lecturer at an overseas university with responsibility for Training Head Teachers. I live in Lower Apperley and have had four children attend the school. On the Governing Body my particular responsibility is for the Curriculum, Personnel matters and Head Teacher’s appraisal.
