CHAIR - TRACY BARNETT - PARENT
I have been a
parent governor at Brize Norton since 2001 and took on the role of
chairman two years ago. With a new building and a new head teacher we
are moving into a very exciting period for the school. I am very proud
to be part of such a supportive and caring school in which children
enjoy their learning. I have responsibility within the Governing body
for Performance Management and Finance, as well as working with the
other governors on our School Improvement Priorities.
I live in Bampton with my husband, whose family has farmed in Brize
Norton for many years, and our two boys. They both benefited greatly
from their time at Brize Norton Primary School and are now at Burford
Secondary School.

SHANE RAE - COMMUNITY
I first moved to the area in 2000. I was
appointed as a community governor for Brize Norton
Primary while holding the position of Chairman of
the Brize Norton Parish Council. I have enjoyed the
experience greatly and have just started my 9th year
as a school governor (2010). I am delighted to be
involved with such a vibrant and outstanding school.
It has been wonderful to play even a small part in
the school's very impressive results. This success
has been achieved not only by the inspirational
staff but also from our fantastic network of support
from the greater school community. This community
has made it very clear that they care greatly about
the school and every one of its pupils.
I have been a full time teacher myself for
many years, mainly in the primary sector where I
taught Key Stage 2 children. Currently I am a
Senior Publisher in Primary Education. I live in
Brize Norton with my wife Alex and our children, the
eldest of which is now a pupil at the school.

year old daughter.
Before becoming a school governor I was a child minder and

am currently Vice-Chairperson of Brize Norton Parish
Council.
I enjoy meeting people who live in the village and
hopefully helping the village stay the charming place it is
to live in. I hope my work as a school governor will enable
me to support an already successful school which plays a
huge part in village life.

ALEXANDRA RAE -STAFF REPRESENTATIVE
I began my teaching career at Brize
Norton Primary School in 2001 – and have never looked back.
Soon after, my husband and I moved to the village and have
found it to be an extremely warm and friendly community. It
is here that we have chosen to begin our family, and we now
have two young children.
I have taught across the Key Stages at
Brize Norton Primary School and love every minute of
watching the children learn and progress throughout the
school. I have seen the school grow over the years –
including the addition of 3 new classrooms, a hall and a
newly refurbished playground and all-weather pitch.
I took on the role of staff governor a
year ago and I am jointly responsible for overseeing the
development of the creative curriculum and continuing to
raise standards in core subjects.
