Lesley Dennis- Vice Chair of Governors (Co-Opted)

I am Lesley Dennis and I became Vice Chair in July 2018 and a Co-opted Governor on St. Margaret’s Infant Governing Body in September 2014. I have previously been both a Parent and Staff Governor at this school. My roots are not in the Medway Towns. I was born and grew up in Folkestone. I moved from there to pursue a career in nursing towards the end of the 1960’s.

Following marriage and three daughters I decided to train as a teacher at Christ Church Canterbury, qualifying in the early ‘90s. I was a teacher at this school for many years, having spent my entire teaching career there. I still go into school two afternoons a week to listen to children read, and use my skills to both encourage and give confidence to the children who need it.

The staff at St. Margaret’s have always tried to achieve and maintain high standards, whilst providing an appropriate education for the individual child.

In becoming a Governor I will try to ensure that the school achieves high standards for all the children. At the same time making it a happy place to both work and learn. 

Craig Beer- Co-Opted Governor

I am Craig Beer and I joined the Governing body in May 2016 as a parent governor. I have worked in education for the last 14 years and currently and the Finance and IT Manager at a large secondary academy. Prior to my current employment I worked in finance for 10 years at a local authority.
I am a qualified school business manager and a graduate member of the Institute of Leadership and Management. At St.Margaret’s. I am the chair of the Finance and Resources committee and the governor lead on health and safety.
I have two boys who attended this wonderful school. We chose this school over other closer schools for its reputation of excellence and providing a caring and nurturing environment which is so important at this age.
The staff here work so hard to educate and grow our children, that any time we can volunteer to play a small part is gratefully given.
The governing body is made up of normal folk who just want to make a difference and make this school better. We and the PTA give our time freely in the hope that we can guide St.Margaret’s into a brighter future.
