Our Governors

All Governors have signed a Declaration of Personal Interest form, and currently none of them, or anyone close or a blood relation has a significant interest in organisation(s) that may supply goods or services to the school.

All of our Governors join us for a four year term and are committed to working with our school to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our children. None of our current governors have any other connection with our school, other than our parent governors, and are not related to any members of staff.

HEIDI MACLACHLAN
STAFF GOVERNOR

Heidi grew up in Lincolnshire and attended local primary schools and KGGS in Grantham. She went on to Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln, where she gained her qualified teaching status. This was a lifetime ambition as she had always wanted to be a teacher since she was four years old. 

 Her teaching experience has been in local schools at Harlaxton, Grantham and then Brant Broughton, where she has been for nearly four years. Heidi has taught children from the age of four to nine years at the school.  

 Her specialist area of responsibility is maths and she has led the introduction of Power Maths into the school. She also is coordinator for PHSE, ICT and D&T. Heidi became a school governor in the Autumn of 2022. 

 She enjoys going to the gym which she does 4/5 times a week, before coming to work. Heidi also enjoys being in the outdoors and going hiking in the school holidays. Other interests include playing video games like Grounded, reading and doing jigsaws.  

She has an eight month old Bengal kitten called Roo who keeps Heidi amused with her antics like stealing bread from Heidi’s lunchbox before she came to work one day!

Martyn Wells
Ex-Officio (in the absence of substantive Headteacher)

I am a father of three, godfather of three, uncle to two and husband to one. I have been the Headteacher of Claypole C.E. Primary School for the past nine years and have supported schools in a similar capacity like this before. All being well, I will be sharing my time equally between Claypole & Brant Broughton (with one week being on-site three days; two the next) but I’m always contactable for both schools… and only 12 minutes away!

When I'm not 'Headteachering,' I love film and have dabbled in the genre myself: peaking with a Primetime Emmy Award in 2020 for a project I worked on with actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Although I don't think Mr Spielberg needs to worry himself too much!

Ex-Officio in way of virtue as Interim-Executive Headteacher

No business or pecuniary interests; or material interests arising from intra-governor or staff relationships.

Term of office: 9th October 2024 to 8th April 2025
