Current Governors

     Gina Smith - Chair of Governors / Foundation Governor

I joined the Governing Body in December 2019 and am excited to be part of such an inclusive and dynamic school.  I was a teacher for 11 years and now run a business supporting communication for individuals with autism or learning difficulties.  I have two daughters, aged 9 and 7, that both attend BPSP.  I hope to bring my experience of teaching, and in particular of working with SEND pupils to this role, and look forward to working with everyone at the school.

     Sam Bury - Co Vice Chair / Co-opted Governor

I am delighted to be joining the governing body of such a vibrant and inclusive school.  I am a very proud father of a daughter in year 3 who loves the school. I am hoping to bring my previous experience of being a governor in a large secondary school and my knowledge and skills acquired from teaching in a number of schools over the last 20 years to the role.  I feel very privileged to be serving the school community in this way and look forward to working with the governors, staff students and parents of BPSP.

     Camille Ventham - Co Vice Chair / Parent Governor

I have been a BPSP parent since my elder son joined the school in September 2019. I am a chartered chemical engineer and work in the energy sector, leading projects focusing on emission reduction and carbon capture. As an engineer, I am thorough, detailed orientated, and analytical. I would hope to draw on my experience, different perspectives, and specific skills to play an active part and bring further success to the BPSP governing body.

     Jacques Bernard - Staff Governor

I have been a teacher for 4 years at Baden-Powell & St. Peter's School and in this time, have built up a good rapport with staff and pupils alike. I have lots of experience representing my brother's charity and being involved in meetings and the decision making process. I am looking forward to contributing and having a positive impact within the governing body.

     Kia Babb - Co-opted Governor

I became a co-opted governor for BPSP in 2021 and am thrilled to be part of the governing body of this vibrant and welcoming school. It’s a privilege to give back to such a supportive community. As a Senior Director in Financial Services specialising in Technology, Data, and Finance, I aim to leverage my 20 years of experience to support and contribute meaningfully to the school’s ongoing success.
