Brackenwood Junior School

Governance

The Oak Trees Multi Academy Trust consists of members and trustees from across the MAT schools and each school has their own Governing Body. The Governing Body at Brackenwood Junior School works closely with the school to ensure high standards are achieved. Together with the Headteacher, they set the school's strategic direction.

Mr David Stanley

Chair of Governors

My involvement with Brackenwood Juniors and the Governing Body started in 2009 when the first of my two sons started here, they are now 21 and 17! I became Chair of Governors about 9 years ago and have seen the school go through a number of OFSTED inspections and the joining of Oak Trees Multi Academy Trust.

I am still as passionate about the school as I was 15 years ago and continue to do my best to support the Head, staff and children.

Morag Kophamel

Co-opted Governor

I was a teacher for sixteen years before becoming a headteacher of a primary school and also a special school. I worked with the local authority school improvement team before becoming an HMI (Her Majesty’s Inspector). I inspected many schools but my favourite part of the HMI role was working with schools to help them improve. I had to take early retirement after an injury and now spend a lot of time with my six grandchildren. I continue to be keenly interested in primary education and became a governor in 2021.

Mr Richard Jones

Parent Governor

Both my children loved Brackenwood Infant and Junior schools (my daughter is still at the Junior school).  I was always keen to find out more about their school day and was happy to help out when needed. When the opportunity arose to apply to be a governor at the Junior school, I applied straight away.  I hope that I bring experience as a parent and volunteer at both schools to my governor role.   I am passionate about all elements of governance, from safeguarding to mental health and wellbeing as well as the ‘day to day’ subjects like Maths and Reading.
