Parent Community Group
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up". - Galatians 6:9
Beacon Education comprises of one Board of Trustees.
In December 2021 we changed the name from Governors to Local School Councillors. In September 2022 WSAT became Beacon Education and we restructured the governance forming the Parent Community Group and the Academic Improvement Board - responsible for teaching and learning.

Jane Bellamy
Jane Bellamy (Link Trustee)
I was appointed as a foundation governor at Old Cleeve & St Michael's School in January 2019 and I am a Trustee for the WSAT.
For 15 years I was the headteacher of a C of E primary school near Milton Keynes & also acted as Head of the Virtual School for children in the care of the local authority. We moved to this area following my retirement & I am delighted to be able to be part of the governing body. I am keen to ensure that the Christian ethos of the school is upheld.
Mag Hatton
Mag Hatton - Foundation Governor - first appointed in 2017.
Sarah Moody
Sarah Moody -Parent Governor responsible for Safeguarding
I am passionate about children’s well being and believe this is key for engaging well at school. The 18 years experience I have within mental health services supports this and the ability to bring positive ideas and suggestions. I would also like to be able to support others in contributing to the children’s future and ensure all children get the opportunity to get the most out of the school environment.
Jess Bishop - Board Elected
Ever since my daughter started at Old Cleeve First School and I witnessed first hand the commitment and care of all the school staff, I have wanted to give back my time and support by joining the Local School Council. I have worked in Local Government for the past 14 years which has given me experience in governance, health protection and emergency management. I really care that the school is at the centre of the community and it has the support to continue to create a safe place where the children can develop confidence, learn and have fun.
Megan Hunt
Old Cleeve School has given my son the best start to education, so I am delighted to be able to give back via the Parent and Community Group. I am keen to support the school with parent engagement, ensuring everyone feels welcome and involved in their child/children's learning. I also hope to help promote the unique and remarkable things that make Old Cleeve School so special to new parents interested in joining our school community.
