    Kaye Rudd - Foundation Governor & Chair of Governors - Swanbourne

    I have two sons, both have been to Kingfishers Preschool, Mursley CE and Swanbourne school. I worked in Financial Services for 15 years in Pension & Life Assurance. I wanted to become a governor as I was so impressed by what our village schools could offer & I wanted to be a part of this & help maintain it. I am also on the Little Horwood Parochial Church Council.  I was on the Mursley Kingfishers Pre-school Committee for 5 years & I was also Treasurer of the Friends of the Three School for many years.

    Jill Bailey - Diocesan Governor - Swanbourne

    I am a foundation governor appointed by the Oxford Diocese. I have enjoyed my role of a Governor for the last 13 years. I worked at Swanbourne School as a teaching assistant for 9 years but after further training became a teacher and now work in Year 3 at local primary school in Aylesbury. I live in Swanbourne with my husband and 1 son who is at university and I have another son who has completed university so I also have experience of the school system from a parent's point of view. I have experience of helping start up and govern the new secondary school in Winslow. I think it is important that the local people are involved in their local school because it helps build community.

    I have been working at The Three Schools for several years now, following 25 years in different local authorities. My experience as a governor has been gained in several schools in which I have worked, but also in the small village primary school that my own children attended.

    My aim is always to help, in any way that I can, to ensure that everyone is able to achieve their best. This applies to children, their families, colleagues and the community.

    My main interests include sport and music, which I try to participate in as well as lead.

    Caroline Walker - Diocesan Governor - Swanbourne
    I have recently joined the Governing Body at Swanbourne as a Diocesan Governor. I have the pleasure of living in the village with my husband, who is in the Armed Forces, and two children, one currently attends Swanbourne School. I work as a doctor and outside of my clinical roles, deliver medical education and training and have a specific interest technology-enhanced learning and well-being. As a family we enjoy spending our free time in the local community and are actively involved with the local church. I am pleased to have the opportunity to serve on the governing body and hopefully, make a contribution to the supportive and inspirational educational environment which the Three Schools offer to the children in our community. In my free time, I try to keep vaguely fit and enjoy music, dancing (tap!) and the theatre.
