Current Governor Profiles
Anthea (Tup) Dodson (Chair of Governors)
I have lived in Wilburton for virtually all my life and attended Wilburton Primary School as a child - initially in the old building in the High Street and then in the present building. After a short time away, we moved back into Wilburton to take over the family business but also so our children could attend Wilburton school as I strongly believe that the early years spent at a primary school gives a firm foundation for life. Wilburton Primary School provided that for myself, my children and is now for my grandchildren. I am involved in a variety of groups in the village and am a deacon, treasurer and secretary of Wilburton Community Baptist Church, Rainbow and Brownie helper, Vice Chair of the Stretham and Wilburton Community Land Trust. I also served for many years as a Parish Councillor. Wilburton is an important part of my life and I want to see it continue to be a community focused village. I retired from my role as Head of Criminal Justice for Cambridgeshire Constabulary and became a Community Governor, allocated to the Resources Committee but I am now a Foundation Governor and, after a time on the Standards Committee, am back on the Resources Committee. I am also Vice Chair of the Governing Board and have responsibility for Christian Foundations and SEND provision. I am a huge supporter of the school and want to see it grow and improve. I am particularly keen to ensure that every pupil who attends the school reaches the best level of achievement in whatever way helps them to fulfil their ambitions and dreams.
Bonnie Mitchell (Parent Governor)
I moved to Wilburton in 2016, and my involvement with Wilburton CofE Primary School began with my eldest child starting in reception in 2017. I believe that Wilburton CofE Primary School offers my children an excellent local primary school setting. I am aware that the teaching body, Mr Aston, and the board of Governors work hard to achieve this, and I wanted to offer my support to the Board. I became a Parent Governor in 2021. I work as a Finance Director for a technology business. My transferable skills are primarily financial planning and budgeting, and I am now Chair of the Resources Committee.
Angie Sykes (Staff Governor)
I am the staff governor at Wilburton and am proud to have worked at the school since 2013. I currently teach in Squirrels class (Year 1 and 2) and am also English lead and deputy head. I have been teaching for 20 years and my background is in History and English. I believe strongly in the importance of reading and vocabulary so I am thrilled by our new library which is situated at the heart of the school. I am also looking forward to the upcoming plans that will further enhance our children’s learning experience.
David Blaikie (Parent Governor)
I am delighted to join the board of governors for Wilburton C of E Primary School as a Parent Governor. In my earlier life I worked as an English teacher in a secondary school in Lancashire, and since moving to Cambridgeshire in 2016 I have worked for Cambridge University Press and Assessment, so I have been involved in education in one form or another for over 20 years. I moved to Wilburton from Ely in 2023, in part because of the excellent local primary school, and since joining the board I've appreciated the dedicated and skilled staff we have in our school. I look forward to contributing in any way I can to the continued success of the school.
Carly Juneau (Parent Governor)
I have been a parent governor since 2024, motivated to join after seeing the fantastic work and commitment shown by all staff at the school. Just over a year into my role, I took up the position of Sustainability Governor. This is an area that I know the school has taken great leaps in developing; I am excited to support future initiatives. I have taught Art and Textiles in Senior schools in London then Ely for 16 years. During this time I have also taken a pastoral role at management level. I would hope that my experience in working with children and young people can contribute to the hard work and dedication of the governing body and staff at the school.
