My wife and I moved to Campton in April 2018, and I became an Associate Governor at the school here in 2019. We have lived in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire since the 1970s, when I worked at British Aerospace Hatfield as a ‘Wind Tunnel Aerodynamicist’, and our two daughters attended school in Great Offley. After BAe, I did a Postgraduate Certificate of Education, and then taught mathematics and computing at a Secondary School in Harpenden before moving into the Computer Industry, where I spent the next 27 years as a software developer, Project Manager and then Technical Director of a company in Cambridge specialising in computer-based training. I was a Governor of the primary school in Whitwell, Herts; one of my activities there was to manage the project to install a new boiler and hot water system. My particular interests are therefore in the teaching of maths, science and computing, but I am keen to be involved in many other aspects of the school – time permitting … In my spare time, I run a website telling the stories of pre-war and civilian WW2 (Air Transport Auxiliary) pilots, and I have also been a volunteer at Shuttleworth Aircraft Museum, helping to restore old aeroplanes. I also enjoy walking, music, travelling, and DIY.

SARAH FRAHER – PRINCIPAL - GOVERNOR I have worked as a class teacher at Campton Lower since 2006 and became a staff governor for the second time in April 2018. During my time at Campton I have taught pupils in Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 and my main priority has always been to provide every child with the best possible educational outcomes. This includes ensuring every pupil is treated as an individual and that their social and emotional needs are met. I am also the school’s Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator and Designated Safeguarding Lead. I became Principal in April 2022 after being interim principal for 4 terms. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, keeping fit and travelling as much as we can.

Sarah Dale - I joined Campton in the summer term 2020 as a Year 4 Class Teacher. In 2021, I took on the role of staff governor to ensure I was in the best position to support the progress of the school and the families we serve. I enjoy taking long walks with my Dog and completing craft projects. 

Alan Stupple - I became a Governor at Campton in 2021 after working closely with the Maths lead and the rest of the staff team. I could see how committed the staff were and wanted to use my experience of working in a number of BEST schools to help support the school achieve its aims. My background is a secondary Maths teacher and I took on the role of trust Maths Lead in 2021. 

I became a Governor at Campton Academy in September 2022.
