The Tudor Governing Board

'Governors are committed to the school’s success. They carry out their role effectively, overseeing the headteachers’ plans for continuous improvement. They are very supportive of the leadership team and have confidence in its capacity to realise its vision.' (Ofsted, December 2022)

The current co-chairs of the Tudor Primary Governing Board are Lucy Lee and Dan Jones. They have been co-chairs since September 2026.

Some further information on some current members of the Tudor Governing Board:

Amy Wright

I became a parent governor at Tudor in 2020, and currently hold link roles for SEN, Wellbeing and Early Years - all areas I believe to be hugely important to children's development and future success. I have lived near the school for 12 years and work in TV technical production. My oldest son attends Tudor and my youngest hopes to start in September. We are proud to be part of such an inclusive and caring school community.

Chris Mansfield

I am a Co-opted Community Governor and joined the Board in 2017 and currently have responsibility for Health and Safety and sit on the Finance (as Chair), Personnel and Performance Monitoring, and Premises committees.

I am the owner of a SME based in Portsmouth

Dan Jones

I’ve been a Governor at Tudor for 10 years and proud to have been part of the journey we’ve been on.  The transformation of the school is fantastic to see! I’ve got two children in Key Stage 2 and one that is now in secondary school. Professionally, I am a police Inspector working operationally within the county.

Jenny Heath

I have a child in year 3 and a child who is now at secondary school. I have 16 years' experience of working with children.

Lucy Lee

I joined the Tudor Governor board in July 2021. As a co-opted governor, I have experience working in primary and secondary schools specialising in SEN and Safeguarding.

Stephanie Boyle

I have lived in Hemel Hempstead for over 10 years. My eldest son joined Tudor in September 2023 and shortly after I joined the Tudor governing board. We hope our youngest son will join Tudor in 2 years’ time. I strongly believe in schools being the heart of the community and as a family we love being part of this incredible school. I hope to bring my skill and experiences to the board of governors, supporting the school to continue developing and succeeding for many years.

Martin Blow

I joined the Tudor Governing Board in March 2026 as a parent governor and also took on the link role for GDPR. Through my work, I have experience in technology, data and risk management, which I hope to use to support the school where helpful.

I became a governor because I care about the school and the community it serves. I’m keen to support the school in continuing to provide a positive environment for all pupils and to support the school in its ongoing success.

Rabbi Charley Baginsky

I was a parent at Tudor Primary for over a decade, with three children attending the school. My youngest left in 2024, but I remain deeply committed to the school’s values and community. I am the Chief Executive of a national religious organisation and bring extensive experience in leadership, education, and community engagement. I am passionate about inclusion, wellbeing, and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive.

The school benefits from a committed governing board. County feedback states:

Governor involvement is robust...a good working knowledge of the school. Governor engagement levels are high and the safeguarding governor meets regularly with staff to monitor procedures and best practice. Governors articulated the same passion and values observed across the school.

Our governors have also achieved awesome recognition for their work. The picture below relates to an 'Outstanding Governance Award' that was awarded to Mrs Jenny Howard:
