Julie Byard
I am the Chair of the Resources Committee and have been on the Governing Body here at Great Gidding since my son, James, started at the school in 2011. My first job as a governor was to sort out a website for the school, which is now, superseded by this more pupil friendly site!
I work as a freelance scientist developing medical devices for hospitals. Outside of work I am a bit of a geek; enjoying tinkering with computers, and playing Minecraft with my son. I also enjoy Geocaching, reading and cooking, when time permits.
Denise Egbury
My name is Denise Egbury, married with two children. I relocated from South Yorkshire two years ago, where I worked in a Primary School as a School Business Manager. I enjoy the Primary School setting, and was invited to join the Governing Body in 2016. I enjoy swimming, fitness classes, walking, cake decorating and sewing when I have the time.

Suki Hinton
I am very proud to be the Headteacher of Great Gidding Church of England Primary School and work with such creative and dedicated staff.
When I’m not at school, I love spending time with my family and friends and walking with Milo.
I’m passionate about storytelling and can either be found with my nose in book, or watching a film!

Lynn Smith
I am the staff Governor and work at Great Gidding School as an HLTA (Higher Level Teaching Assistant) across all classes. I have worked at Gidding for nearly six years, but living in the village my own three children have all been pupils here, so my association with the school goes back to 2004, over 16 years!
Joanne Taylor
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself as the Chair of the Governing Body. I first joined the Governing Body as a Co-opted Governor in 2014 when my daughter joined in Year 3. I became Chair of the Resources Committee in 2016 and subsequently Chair of Governors in early 2019.
My professional background is in Programme and Change Management in both Operational and Enterprise Technology genres.
Through personal experience, I have developed a strong affection for our school and the ethos that it fosters. I feel extremely proud to be associated with Great Gidding School and have tremendous admiration for the teachers and staff who always go the extra mile to enable every child to reach their potential.
If at any time you would like to contact me or any member of the Governing Body, please leave a message for me with the school office or email on jtaylor@greatgidding.cambs.sch.uk.
