GOVERNOR PROFILE – ANGELA WILLIAMS
Foundation Governor
Governor since 2014
I settled in Winterslow in 1997 on my husband’s retirement from the Army and now serve as a Foundation Governor on the Ethos, Premises and Finance Committees. I am a teacher with broad experience gained in a number of different schools, including those in villages, towns and inner city areas as well as service schools. I now work as a supply teacher which enables me to keep up to date with my profession and to experience a number and variety of teaching methods and disciplines. Having always had a passion for education I am therefore keen to use my knowledge and skills to provide further support as a governor. Thus it is very rewarding to belong to the governing body, responding to the responsibilities and challenges involved and working in partnership with so many people to ensure that the pupils have a happy and secure environment in which to develop and achieve their potential within society.
My hobbies include gardening, wildlife, walking and travel. I am married and have two adult daughters.

GOVERNOR PROFILE - Victoria Dunne
Parent Governor
Governor since July 2019
I believe a key success factor for any school is to have a strong PTA & Governing Body that is able to communicate effectively with the school sharing thoughts and ideas from all parties. I was the Treasurer for FOWS for two years and during this time I was able to really understand all the great work that our parents/guardians undertake to support the school and children. As a parent governor I feel I'm in the fortunate position to be able to fully understand the workings of the school, be able to contribute both my thoughts and ideas along with those of other parents and work with the other governors and school leads to shape and maintain the excellent standards of our school.
I have experience of working both in the Finance and HR Fields. I'm currently a HR Manager specialising in 'Innovative Leadership and Learning in a Digital World'. I've lived in the village for four years and my hobbies include, running, walking and being outside with my family and pets.
