Jade Earle
Chair of Governors
I live and work locally in Exeter and have a daughter who attends the school as well as another daughter at nursery who will be starting school next year.
I joined the governing board in 2021 as I have an interest in education but also, like any parent, want to ensure that all of our children get the best out of school that they can.
I work for Exeter City Council as a HR Business Partner and have been part of the Human Resources Team there for more than 15 years. I feel that my experience and knowledge can positively contribute to the governing board and school.
Simon Jones
Vice Chair and Chair of Teaching and Learning Committee
When I was elected as a parent governor, I wanted to make a difference for the children, have a positive influence on their educational progression and preparation of life skills.
My family and I love living in the Stoke Hill area. Our daughter Jessica has really benefitted from when she first started in Reception, all those years ago, to now preparing for Year 6 and beyond.
Being lucky enough to be involved within the governing body of our Federation means I can represent you to provide the reassurance for your child and the dedicated staff to plan for school improvements and the challenges that lay ahead.
Professionally, I work for the NHS where I have obtained the transferable skills and compassion to enable my role as an active governor.
Helen Greenhall
Vice Chair and Chair of Resources Committee
I grew up in Devon and moved back to Exeter 7 years ago. My daughter has been at Stoke Hill for 3 years and loves going to school.
I am a chartered accountant with more than 15 years’ experience and I run the finance department of a busy company. I wanted to use some of my financial and commercial knowledge by becoming a governor to help the school deliver the best start in life for children.
Andy Pheasant
I have a daughter in year 6 and a son in year 3. Both joined the school in the fantastic Nursery and have been at Stoke Hill through infants and then into junior school.
Jo Cook
I have lived in Exeter for over 20 years and have 3 boys, 2 of whom have been all the way through Stoke Hill, from the Nursery to year 6 and on to secondary school. My youngest son, Alexander, is in Reception so we are right back at the beginning again!
I was a family lawyer for many years and now work in the risk and compliance team at a local law firm.
As a parent governor, I will approach my role from a parental perspective. I want the children at Stoke Hill to have the best school experience they can. Stoke Hill has been a significant part of my family’s life for many years and I am excited to be able to support the school in this role.
Katrina McGuigan
I have three children, two who are already fully integrated at Stoke Hill and one who is very excited to join his brother and sister in September 2024.
My professional background is in education, and I have been teaching for 13 years as a History Teacher at Uffculme School. I love my job and am excited to bring my experience of working in a high performing education environment to the board of governors. I also have a passion for extra curricular activities and look forward to exploring these opportunities at Stoke Hill.
