Jasper Falk (Vice Chair of Governors | Originally from London I moved to Andover in 2005. I joined the Governing Board in 2018 as a co-opted Governor as I have a real desire to help where I can in local education. KEJS is a lovely school with a warm welcoming atmosphere and aspirational ethos. I am delighted to be part of the team here. Having worked in finance for the majority of my career I have a particular interest in assisting the school uses its resources as effectively as possible. I have 4 teenage children who keep me busy and I love to play football when I get the chance. |
Lynsay Scratchley (Co-opted Governor) | I've lived in and around Andover my whole life. Juggling full-time work at Army Headquarters as an accountant for a busy and demanding department, and mum of 2 very busy children is a challenge. Supporting my husband in his own business and finding time to enjoy family life is a priority. I'm passionate about children's education and I want to make available as many |
Sarah Moss Co-opted Governor) | As a local resident and an employee with managerial responsibilities, life can be full and challenging, especially as a mother of young twins. I have always felt a passion for assisting in creating a positive school environment for all children; offering opportunities and experiences to all, regardless of their personal circumstances. I believe in creating a pathway for children that enables access to quality education in a safe, enjoyable environment that promotes challenge, provides support, and encourages all children to thrive. I place great value on the early opportunities offered to our children, and I’m passionate about the promotion of wellbeing for all – be it children or staff. Having worked within rehabilitation units and now in a customer service environment, my personal values are to help wherever I am capable of. |

Daniel Whitehouse (Headteacher) | I was appointed as Headteacher in January 2021. Prior to this, I have spent 10 years as a Deputy Head in a primary school and a junior school. Being a father of two, I am very much aware of the responsibility that my staff and I have in ensuring that the highest standard of teaching and learning is achieved. We have a hugely committed team and wonderful children, which of course, is a great place for any Headteacher to start! Our aim is to create the best education for your children whilst they are members of our school family. |
