Mrs J Moss - staff governor, 01/09/2028

I’m Julie Moss and I am Staff Governor. I am a Class Teacher at Bradwell Infant School and have worked here since 2012. I mainly teach Year 1 and 2.  In school I am the teacher responsible for RE and Worship, Maths, Music and Computing. I deputise for the head teacher when she is out of school or absent and being a governor gives me the overview of the school that is necessary for that role.

Sherry Siddall

Foundation Governor 12/06/2028

I’m Sherry, I am currently Manager of Bradwell Preschool and a Foundation Governor at Bradwell Infants. With over 18 years’ experience working within school and early years settings and qualifications in Child Development and Developmental Psychology I am dedicated to providing children with quality education and learning opportunities in a nurturing environment.

I am committed to ensuring every child receives the highest quality education and the opportunity to thrive. I was honoured to be asked to serve as a school governor and the experience has been invaluable with building links between the school and preschool.

Outside of my role I am also a wife and a mum. I have a son at Bradwell Juniors and a daughter who is currently studying Law at university.

Kathryn McGuiness coopted Governor 28/01/2028

Hello, my name is Kathryn McGuiness and I’m a governor both here at Bradwell Infants and at Bradwell Juniors. I’ve been teaching at Bradwell Juniors for nearly ten years and love every minute of it. Being a governor here means that I have a good understanding of the experiences the children have gained, so that when the time comes to move on they can have as smooth a transition as possible.

Rebecca Sampson - Co-opt Governor, 01/11/2026
Vice Chair
I’m Becci, one of the Co-opt Governors at Bradwell Infants school.  I have lived in Bradwell for over 15 years and have a daughter currently at Bradwell pre-school and a son at the Infants.  Supporting the school, education of children and the community of Bradwell is what attracted me to this role.
 
Outside of this role I run my own fitness business and enjoy exercise and time with the family exploring the beautiful surroundings of Bradwell and the Peak District."

Claire Johnstone - Parent Governor 

Jane Dalrymple - Ex-officio Foundation Governor 

Hi, I’m Jane Dalrymple, and the ex-officio Governor, representing St Barnabas Church on the Board of Governors.

I’m Churchwarden at St Barnabas and run the weekly St B’s Baby and Toddler group, and have lived in Bradwell since 2015.

As an ex-secondary school teacher, I have first-hand experience of how schools operate and appreciate the importance of a strong and supportive governing body.

Attending a church school offers the children a dimension to their learning and experience of life that is often not present in many schools.

In addition, I believe that village schools are very special and I am keen to help secure the best start for the children of Bradwell.

Debbie Hobson - Clerk to the Governors
