    Chair of Local Committee

    Mrs Lofts

    As an accomplished professional with over 20 years leadership experience I am passionate about ensuring that all children receive a high quality, positive educational experience, with a balanced emphasis on academic as well as emotional growth. In my role as Chair of the Local Committee I will strive to support the school to provide a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment that enables all learners to thrive.

  • Jayne Venables
    Executive Headteacher LC Member

    Jayne Venables

    I have been associated with St. Andrew's Infant school since 2008 when I first started working at the school as Kingfisher Class teacher, and then becoming the Headteacher at the school in 2011. I became the Headteacher at Potters Gate Primary School in April 2015 and it is so exciting to be working with both schools currently.

    When I am not working at Potters Gate Primary or St. Andrew's I like to spend time walking with my lovely Working Cocker Spaniel, Jasper and out in my garden. I have chickens which help with my other passion which is cooking. When I find quiet time I like to knit and read. I live in Farnham with my two teenage children.

  • Bonnie Lloyd
    Staff LC Member

    Bonnie Lloyd

    I have been working as a Class Teacher at St Andrew's since January 2017. Prior to this, I have taught in schools across London, mainly within Early Years. I have recently been appointed as the Early Years Leader across St Andrew's and Potters Gate. I am looking forward to working with the team, utilising my knowledge and skills to enhance the teaching and learning of the children within this age range.

    I am looking forward to my new role as Staff Local Committee member, hoping to gain a greater insight into how a school works behind the scenes and to be a voice for staff members.

  • Sarah Gudgin
    Parent LC Member

    Sarah Gudgin

    I have lived in Farnham with my husband since 2007. Farnham is such a great place to raise children and we are lucky to have such excellent, nurturing schools at its centre. Our eldest child, Arthur, started at Potters Gate in September 2016 (Jemima started in 2018) and, since that time, I have been consistently impressed by the dedicated team of staff and the tireless contribution of parents.

    I am a lawyer by profession and am committed to bringing my skills and experience to my Local Committee member role supporting and challenging decisions, as and where necessary. Having recently been appointed, I am very much looking forward to this opportunity to be able to support our schools and to learn more about their inner workings.

    As a Local Committee member, I want to help to ensure that all children at our schools have the best opportunities to learn and achieve by ensuring that they have a happy and stable environment in which to start their learning journey.

    On a more personal note, I am a keen runner, although admittedly, my enthusiasm far exceeds any skill! My other passion is food, hence (the need) for running!
