Governor profiles

Janet White

I grew up as an RAF child, and my memories of my own primary school education were the frequent moves and school changes. My teacher training was completed in Cumbria, B.Ed (hons), and more recently I studied at B.G.U to achieve my M.A (in education). I have taught from Reception to Year 6, in a variety of schools, both large and small, in London, Hampshire and Dorset, before moving back to Lincolnshire. I have worked at Coleby School, part time, for many years, and I am currently teaching Lower Key Stage 2.

Paul Brewster

I am a finance professional with 20 year’s experience as a school governor, covering many roles including chair in both maintained and academy sector.   I have experience of both primary and secondary sector and am also a Trustee and Vice Chair in a Multi Academy Trust. 

My background is 35 years in Banking including leading and managing a team across the East Midlands and South Yorkshire, based out of Nottingham and Lincoln.

I was appointed a Director on the Board of Education this year and also have experience of being a trustee in other areas of charity Governance.

Debbie Barkes

My name is Debbie and I work in the Education Team at Lincolnshire County Council. Before that, I was a teacher and Headteacher in the North Kesteven and Lincoln area. I am passionate about education and about supporting children and families to thrive, lead happy and fulfilled lives and to be the best that they can be. Being a school governor is a great way to do this, by working with a team of governors, pupils, staff, families and the local community.
