Meet our Governors

Vera Abraham - Co-opted Governor
 
I have been connected with JYS for 25 years. Originally as a parent, then as a member of staff for 15 years. I've now retired but I'm pleased to still be involved with the school in my role as a Governor. I enjoy visiting the school and participating in the many varied activities that are part of school life at JYS.
 
 
Donald Vass - Teacher Governor
 

I’ve been at JYS since 2015, when I moved from my previous school in Worthing to become the Year 6 class teacher here. I am a Staff Governor, acting as a link between different groups of people. I help provide the governing body with an insight into the day-to-day running of the school and also relay any relevant information from governor’s meetings back to the staff.

 

 

Mrs Chloe Fihl-Pearson - Governor

 

Having recently moved to Chichester, I am excited to join the governing body of JYS. I have been a teacher, Assistant Head and SENCO for many years in London and am looking forward to bringing my professional experience to the role. I believe that all children deserve exciting learning experiences which help them develop as individuals and I look forward to working with the school community to achieve the best for all pupils.

 

David Turner - Governor

Stuart Quinton - Parent Governor
 
As a parent of two children at the school, I am delighted to have become a Parent Governor at Jessie Younghusband School. JYS provides a wonderful environment for the start of our children’s education and I am very pleased to have the opportunity to bring my experiences to the Board of Governors.

My professional background is in financial services, developing systems to ensure compliance of investment institutions. I believe there are many aspects of my job that will aid me in this new role: teamwork, information security and the desire for continual improvement.

I look forward to working with the other Governors and school to help provide our children with the education they deserve.

 

Paul Neaves - Governor
 
I joined the school in September 2002, and worked in each of the Key Stage 2 classrooms before becoming Deputy Headteacher in September 2018. In this time, I served for years as the Staff Governor. 
I have a thorough understanding of the day-to-day running of the school, and it is a pleasure to serve as a Governor at Jessie.
