Pauline Alleyne (Chair)

My family and I have lived in the village of Essendon for over 30 years and during this time I have been an active member the Church and community. I have helped run St Mary’s Sunday School for over 20 years and have got to know many of the local children and their families. In my role as Chair, I hope to make a positive contribution to our community and develop the links between the school, church and community.

Belinda Canham

I am the school's Headteacher and joined the school's Governing Board in September 2020. Prior to coming to Essendon this I have worked at a number of Hertfordshire schools as Inclusion Lead and Class Teacher. I am mum to five grown-up children, and currently I live in St Albans with my husband.

 

Vicky Craig

I moved to Essendon in 2014, having lived in the local area all my life. I am married to Tom and we have two children, Ted and Harry, both of whom are pupils at the school. We feel very privileged to live in such a beautiful and welcoming village. We were married at St Mary’s Church in 2012 by Reverend Pauline and both children have also been christened there.

 

I became a governor as I am passionate about children’s education and want to support the school in being the best it can be and to help our children achieve their potential. I feel it is important to create a school environment whereby each child is valued and develops their own ideas, self-esteem and confidence, so they can excel both academically and creatively.

I  am called through the Holy Spirit to share my knowledge and experience as a way of assisting others.

 

I am married to Solomon and we have two children. I consider myself an approachable and conscientious person and a team player.

I am an Associate Governor and was previously the Chair of Governors.  I live in Essendon with my family. I became a governor in the hope that some of my education and business skills would be helpful in supporting the development of the school.
