  • Kevin Tyler
    Chair of Governors

    Kevin Tyler

    I was appointed to the Board of Governors at the School in 2023 and was elected as Vice-Chair of the Board in September. I have lived in Fen Drayton since 2006.

    My professional career has included leadership roles in the public, commercial and charities sectors; most recently in the NHS, managing two acute medicine services at Hinchingbrooke Hospital.

    The School has always been at the heart of Fen Drayton village life and is a vital resource for local families and the wider community. I wanted to offer my support to the Board to help achieve a thriving primary education setting for local children and to ensure they have, individually, the best opportunities to be safe and happy and to realise their academic and personal potential.

    I am currently the Deputy Headteacher of a large Cambridgeshire Primary School. I am passionate about our children's education and strive for everyone to reach their full potential. Both my children attend Fen Drayton Primary School so I wanted to support the school and was appointed as a Parent Governor in November 2019. I am currently the link Governor for safeguarding. I am excited to be able to use my experience within education to support our local school and enable the children within it to thrive.

    Governor

    Danielle Doyle

    I became a governor at Fen Drayton in 2019, shortly after my eldest son started school. Being a governor has allowed me to support the school to provide the best opportunities and education while maintaining all that makes Fen Drayton Primary such a lovely place to learn.

    I have over 20 years of experience in strategic communications roles mainly working in the public sector and for not-for-profit organisations. Currently, I lead a large communications and engagement team at a national research institute, where I am responsible for influencing a wide range of policy areas and supporting academics to find the most engaging and understandable ways to present their work. I also have experience of the financial sector, corporate governance, and improving internal ways of working and business processes

  • Paul Cooper
    Governor

    Paul Cooper

    I have now been a member of the board of governors at Fen Drayton since 2017 and have served as Chair of the Resources and Infrastructure committee 2020-2024.


    My family and I are now happily settled in the village since moving in 2021, having previously elected to send our children to Fen Drayton Primary School, whilst living in a neighbouring village. I currently have two children in the school with two having left to move up to Swavesey Village College, having been a member of the school community since 2014.

    I am a Chartered Accountant and seek to use those skills to support our local village school.

  • Peter Kiss
    Governor

    Peter Kiss

    I became a member of the Board of Governors at Fen Drayton Primary School in September 2023.

    My family and I have been living in Fen Drayton since 2015 with both our children being raised in the village. As both of our children attend the local school, it feels right to try and find more ways to support the school. I was the Chair of the FDPS PTA for some time before handing the reins over, while staying as a Committee Member to continue to support future fundraising events activities.

    In professional life I'm a Project Manager and I'm planning to make use of my skills and knowledge in support of the School.

  • Hannah Johnson
    Governor

    Hannah Johnson

    After graduating from university, I completed the Teach First programme and since then I have worked as a primary school teacher for eight years across the independent and maintained sectors in both Staffordshire and Cambridgeshire. I am currently a class teacher and lead English across a small primary school in the centre of Cambridge. My husband and I recently moved to the village, and I am keen to use my experience within education to support the school and community to ensure that local children experience the best possible start to their education.
