Mrs Hilary Davis

Miss Vianne Miran

Mrs Catherine Fudge
Community Governor

My name is Katie Fudge. I am a local Mum with 2 daughters who both had a great start to their education with an enjoyable time at Wickham Common. I have worked with the NSPCC for over 7 years, working with primary schools in both a safeguarding and fundraising capacity. I love the community feel of Wickham Common and through my role of Governor am keen to support the school in continuing to give local children the best possible start in life.

Mr Johnny Cleary (Vice Chair)
Co-opted Governor

My wife and I moved to West Wickham in 2013 from outside of the area, attracted by the green open spaces and great schools. We have 2 daughters, 1 who started at Wickham Common in 2018 and our youngest due to start in 2020. My professional background is in Financial Services, primarily in Operational Risk. This involves helping organisations identify any weaknesses in their processes and systems and establishing robust controls to mitigate these risks. Outside of work and being a Governor I look after the West Wickham Residents Association website and enjoy running and cycling.

The full Local Governing Body meets at least once every term to discuss the strategic development of the school and it's future. The LGB is there to monitor the development of the school curriculum with a view to ensuring that the curriculum fulfils statutory requirements, meets the needs of all pupils at the school and provides a range of rich relevant and varied learning experiences for all pupils. To monitor the quality of teaching as reported by the head teacher and senior leadership team through their programme of classroom observations and via the reports of external advisors/ inspectors to the school. To monitor pupil outcomes with respect to the rates of progress of pupils at the school and comparison with national figures and the progress and attainment of pupils with similar needs.

Mrs Christine Bellinger
Community Governor

My name is Chris Bellinger. My family have lived in Coney Hall for over forty years and both my children happily, and successfully, progressed through the play school at the Assembly Rooms, Wickham Common Primary and then Hayes Secondary – and they still have the same friendship groups as they did all those years ago!

My first job was as a research scientist at London Zoo then, while my children were small, I worked part-time at West Wickham library. I retrained as a primary school teacher when my youngest was in Year 1 and only retired a few years ago. I still do the odd day of supply teaching, am an exam invigilator and also a Sessional Wedding Registrar.

Looking back on my time on the Wickham Common PTA and the local NCT committee, the public library and the weddings, makes me so thankful that I am part of this friendly local community. I hope that in my role as a Governor I can continue to work alongside and support local families, and the teaching and learning at Wickham Common.
