Governors (ID 1004)

• Emma Liles
  Co-opted (staff) Governor
  Emma Liles

  I have been a Reception teacher at St Luke's since 2016 and a staff governor since 2017. I began my teaching career at St Luke's after falling in love with the ethos of the school whilst completing my final university placement here. I am very passionate about the Early Years and creating a positive start to every child's school life. As a governor I find it really interesting seeing the school from a different perspective and I endeavour to be an active voice for the staff, children and families who are at the heart of the St Luke's community.

  I have been Head of English at Dorothy Stringer school for the past four years and an English teacher at the school for over twenty years. I am also a very grateful former St Luke's parent. Living locally, I am keen to support St Luke's in continuing to provide our young people with the wonderful education for hearts and minds that so many have received. The school is a special place and it is my privilege to be able to share my expertise in Teaching and Learning, as well as Leadership and Management, as a co-opted Governor.

  I have two boys at St Luke's who are receiving an amazing education. I think the school is brilliant and I love its ethos, so I volunteered as a parent governor to help out. I am on the Finance committee and the Leadership committee. In my day job I work on trying to reverse climate change, by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

  Justine Stephens

  Though I am now a co-opted governor, I initially put myself forward as a parent governor because I am passionate about education and the life changing opportunities that teachers give our children. I think that St Luke's is a wonderful school with a great parent/care community. I have watched my children grow as independent, thoughtful people at the school and I wanted to give something back.

• Lucy Webb
  Parent Govenor
  Lucy Webb

  I put myself forward to be a parent governor at St Luke’s because I wanted to give something back to a school that has had such a positive impact on my children’s growth, confidence and resilience.

  I am passionate about ensuring that all children receive an inclusive and balanced education that values every child’s individual potential, and that they leave St Luke’s feeling confident and ready for their next chapter.

  I am proud to chair the Teaching and Learning Committee, sit on the Behaviour and Attitudes Committee, and act as the school’s Pupil Premium Governor.

  In addition, I act as the parent liaison for the parent/carer Class Reps across the school, giving me another valuable opportunity to engage with parents and hear their views.

  Parent Govenor

  I am a proud parent governor at St Luke's, with a son already at the school and my younger child due to join in 2027. As a parent, I feel incredibly grateful that my children are part of such a warm, vibrant and nurturing school community. St Luke's truly has a special energy that makes it a magical place to learn and grow (the building itself blows my mind daily).

  In my role as a parent governor, I am an active member of the SEN Committee and the Behaviour and Attitudes Committee, both of which I am deeply passionate about. I am particularly committed to supporting inclusion, wellbeing and ensuring every child feels valued and able to thrive.

  Being a governor is a privilege, and I am dedicated to contributing positively to the school's continued success, while representing and supporting the voices of families within our community.

• Peter Sowrey
  Co-opted Governor
  Peter Sowrey

  I spent my working life in education, mainly in primary schools, as a teacher, headteacher, local authority advisor and educational consultant and am now retired. I was until recently a parent governor and then local authority governor at a local secondary school and spent a number of years as chair of governors there.

  I recognize the huge importance that education has for all of our futures and I wanted to continue my involvement with a primary school, so applied to become a local authority governor with Brighton and Hove. I am very pleased that my application was accepted by the governing body of St Luke's and I look forward to contributing to the further development of the school.
