Becky Casey 

Chair

I have a child at Tubbenden and have been actively involved in the school community since our oldest son started in 2015. In my day job I work with schools to help them prioritise the physical and mental health of children and young people. I will use this experience to support and challenge the school to ensure that strong and positive relationships between children, staff and families remain at the heart of Tubbenden, one of the main reasons for us choosing the school for our children. On becoming a parent Governor in November 2020 the learning curve has been steep but I would recommend the role to other parents/carers when the opportunity arises.

Kathryn English

I joined the board as a parent governor in January 2021. With my son attending Tubbenden Primary School and my younger daughter to follow in a few years, I have a vested interest in the long-term happiness and success of the school and its pupils. I have worked in the Higher Education sector for 17 years and bring a broad and transferable skills set to the role. Passionate about education, inclusivity and social mobility, with a thirst for learning, I am looking forward to undertaking this role and supporting the school.

Atul Awasthi

I joined the board in June 2022 as Co-Opted Governor. I have two children who both attended Tubbenden Primary School for part of their primary education, and are now in secondary school.  Throughout my career I have volunteered in various non profitable organisations in different countries and I firmly believe that learning and sharing knowledge is the only way to leave a legacy behind for the future generations to come. In my current professional role I work at a senior leadership position in a global telecommunication organisation and I want to share my experience and knowledge to support the school and its pupils in their learning.

Sara Berkeley-Hill

I have been a teacher at Tubbenden since January 2013 and I am also a parent of a child at Tubbenden.  I am not only dedicated to our school, but I also have a vested interest in the future of our children.  During my time at Tubbenden, I have had the privilege of seeing the children grow and achieve as they move through the school and understand the importance of having an ambitious and broad curriculum which both inspires and engages.  As a Mental Health First Aider and RHSE lead, I am passionate about the mental health and well-being of our students ensuring that they have the skills to help them succeed in all aspects of their learning and lives, both whilst at Tubbenden and beyond.

Prior to being a teacher, I worked within the music industry as a Production Manager for both big and start up record labels, so I also have experience beyond the classroom.  I look forward to using all my skills to help promote the further development of our school.

Fiona Wilson

My two sons both attended Tubbenden Primary School and it provided them with a great start to their education.  I joined the board in November 2022 as a Co-Opted Governor and relish the chance to support the school in providing an inclusive and stimulating environment to children in our community.  I am passionate about social mobility and everyone having the opportunity to fulfil their potential.  I am a senior leader in the public sector, currently focusing on strategy, governance and planning and want to bring those skills and my experience to the benefit of the school and its pupils.

Michael Beard

I joined the Governing Body in March 2023 as a Co-Opted Governor.  My sons were well served by local primary and secondary schools and I am committed to supporting the very best possible education for all.  I hope to use my experience as a senior leader in the Civil Service to support Tubbenden Primary School and its pupils in as many ways as I can.  I am passionate about supporting the school in providing opportunities for all across the whole curriculum.
