Governors

Members of the Governing Body:

Mr James Ashforth - Chair of Governors

email: jamesashforth@oaklodge.mslt.org.uk

My name is James Ashforth, and I am a local governor at Oak Lodge. I have two sons, one a current Oak Lodge pupil and one who will join when he reaches reception age. I am passionate about supporting the strategic direction of the school and giving an external viewpoint, with safeguarding as my specific role on the local governing body. I am currently the Group Head of e-Commerce for A.S Watson Group, which is the worlds largest international Health & Beauty retailer (brands in the UK include Superdrug, Savers and The Perfume Shop). The strategic nature of the role allows me to apply many aspects of it to my role as a local governor at Oak Lodge. I was lucky to have a varied education with a BSc in Geography from Reading University, I now live with my family in West Wickham.

Mr G Tysall - Local Governor - Vice Chair

Mrs G Turner - Parent Governor

Mrs C Weedon - Parent Governor

Mr Tom Burrill - Local Governor

I am Tom Burrill and I have two children at Oak Lodge Primary School. I am an independent Financial Adviser and, as a governor of Oak Lodge, help out with the school sports facilities and budget. I love most sports, particularly rugby in the winter and tennis and cricket in the summer.
