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.

JUDITH BURNETT
CHAIR OF GOVERNORS
Judith lives in Brant Broughton, is married to Peter and has three daughters, each of whom attended the school and progressed to university and their chosen careers.
She values the wealth of knowledge and experience gained as a governor in both primary and secondary education. As a governor, experience has enabled Judith to approach and undertake responsibilities with an awareness that benefits the education of all children within the school.
Judith has a Fellowship of the HCIMA, and Certificate in Education which have paved the road for a career as a lecturer, in Higher, and Further Education and teaching in Secondary Education. Being a Member of the Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors has enabled her to maintain a fervent interest in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment as a moderator, assessor, examiner, which is continuing to date.
“As a governor, I have a responsibility towards Safeguarding, Health and Safety and English within the curriculum across KS1 and KS2 which are subjects of special interest to me.
Spending time with the family, sharing and experiencing their individual interests is pleasurable. While enjoying the great outdoors and gardening is gratifying”.
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!
