I’ve been a governor for over twelve years and nine of those years as Chair of Governors. I work for the Diocese of Peterborough as the Generous Giving Officer, which involves helping churches in the Diocese to increase their income. 

I’m married to Shona who has recently retired, having been a Deputy Headteacher for many years. We have two married sons and two grandchildren.

I enjoy coaching basketball, playing music and leading worship and I’m a Northampton Saints season ticket holder. 

I’m passionate about ensuring that all of our children have the best education we can possibly offer them, and I firmly believe we are on our way to achieving that goal!

Chair of Academy Governance Committee - Church Governor

If you wish to contact Mr Adams you can do so via the school office.

I joined Ringstead Primary School in April 2015 as the EYFS and Year 1 Class Teacher. In September 2019, I became the Head of School and continued to teach in Early Years. In September 2020, I took on my current role at Ringstead as Headteacher.   

In my spare time, I am a Flight Lieutenant within the RAF Air Cadets.  I am responsible for running the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award across South and East Midlands Wing, which involves supporting over 30 squadrons in enabling cadets to achieve their Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards.

I have a young family, consisting of two daughters, who as they age will hopefully enjoy the outdoors as much as my husband and I do! 

Mrs Helen Roberts 

Headteacher 

I was delighted to take up a Community Governor role at Ringstead Primary.  I am currently a Year Leader and Mentor at another school in Northamptonshire and, having been a teacher now for 20 years, I hope that my experience can prove useful as a member of the Governing body. I wanted to become a governor because I am mum to two children and I want them to have the opportunity to thrive at Ringstead Primary.

I am passionate about helping young people achieve their potential through education and ensuring youngsters have the best opportunities to succeed whilst growing into responsible and caring individuals. I enjoy playing a role in the life of the school and hope to collaborate with the teaching staff to ensure that all pupils enjoy a very positive learning experience.

Position vacant 

As a parent Governor, I anticipate many of my skills and experience from 20 years spent in healthcare will transfer to this role.  Previously, I've worked as an Occupational Therapist and been the responsible Director for a large psychiatric hospital.  I love working as part of a team.  I'm enthusiastic, passionate about improving standards and hope my contributions make a positive difference to every child in our school.
