Reason for becoming a GovernorA glimpse into my life ....

Stephanie Astle

 

Headteacher

As the Headteacher of High Oakham Primary School, I work closely with the Governing Body in ensuring that we have a clear strategic direction and vision and that we endeavour to provide the best education for our children which surrounds them with aspiration, respect, kindness, nurture and stimulation. My dream is to work together to enable and empower children to become the best adults that they can be, so that they can contribute  and make a difference to the community, our country and the world! I support the mighty Reds, enjoy eating all kinds of tasty food and taking time out in the great outdoors. My family are my all and we love to laugh (a lot), learn and live life to the full!

Robana Hussain-Mills

Parent Vice Chair of  Governors

I became a Governor because I have a strong commitment to improving outcomes not just for my own three children, but for all children regardless of background, attending High Oakham Primary School. In addition it was also important to me to have that 'honest parent voice' heard at governor meetings - not all decisions are popular nor understood by many. I think we have an opportunity to continue to work together with parents/carers and wider partners in ensuring that any decisions made by the school or governors are clear, transparent and meaningful.I am mum to Nyla, Nadine and Zara, who have been or are current pupils at the school. My working life involves working in front line services for the NHS and in more strategic roles, giving me the opportunity to improve outcomes for our most vulnerable citizens and improving the health or our population. My free time is mostly spent with my family and together we care for our two rescue dogs (Oscar & Theo) and rescue cat (Freddie). I also enjoy running, watching TV and baking.
Lisa Vann Chair of  GovernorsI am passionate about education and working to provide the best possible experience for children. I have over 20 years of experience in education and bring this to the High Oakham Primary School Governing Body. I believe that these experiences help me to support High Oakham to set school vision with the Governing Body team and support our school to achieve it's goals. I understand the challenges and possibilities for High Oakham and am keen to support the children in my community to have the very best start to their education.I am a mum to two children, one currently at High Oakham and one at Brunts Academy. I enjoy spending my time with family and friends. I love travelling, visiting new and familiar places. A part of my heart is always in North Wales where I've had years of happy holidays with friends and our families. I enjoy supporting my children with their hobbies - this includes weekends and evenings at the football pitch or at dance studios including the Winter Gardens at Blackpool and Mansfield Palace theatre. To relax I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dog, Teddy.
