I became a parent governor and chair at Knights Enham Junior school in July 2018.

I have a specialist interest in science and maths. My aim is to be able to make a positive contribution to the school, every child’s education and play an active role in driving school improvement and help the school grow from strength to strength. |
Jasper Falk

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 |
Lisa Matthews

I have been a resident in Andover for the last 30 years and have two grown-up children. I work full time at Army Headquarters, primarily focussed on finance and Human Resources, I aim to bring these skills to Knights Enham Junior School to add value and have a positive impact on the school where possible. I am a co-opted governor, a position I took up in late 2019 and I am delighted to be part of the team which aims to improve the experience our children encounter on their learning and educational journey. |
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. |
Simone Borrough
(Staff Governor) |
I am the staff governor for Knights Enham Junior School. I have worked at Knights Enham since 2014 and led PE, Art and English over the years. I have enjoyed being part of the governing body- seeing how the school operates from a different point of view and also representing the staff. I am currently on maternity leave but have remained the staff governor to ensure that I continue to be part of the school moving forward. |
Daniel Whitehouse

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. |
Phil Sheppard

I have a broad range of experience in educational settings have completed my education and passing A levels, a national diploma and currently a year away from completing a degree in environmental science. Studying this degree has taught me many skills and broader my scientific knowledge. I hope to work in the renewable market or as an environmental consultant once I've completed this degree. I have previously worked in the construction industry, landscaping and also as a gardener but had a dream, set a goal then set about doing it!

I believe that a good education is a foundation for every child to assist them to meet challenges they will experience as they go through life. |
