Governor Profiles

Marianne Smallman

I have lived in Church Crookham and Fleet most of my life.  I am a military wife and one of my sons attends Crookham Infants.  I am also by profession a solicitor specialising in family, employment law and civil litigation.

Kelly Mack

I have enjoyed being a Parent Governor at Crookham Infants since October 2017. I have two sons who have been through the school and believe that their time at Crookham Infants has given them a great foundation for the rest of their education. The education of my children is very important to me, and it is that which inspired me to become a Governor. I have previously been as Assistant Head of a Primary School and now work in a local Pre-School. I feel that my experiences and knowledge help me to support the school as it continues to thrive. I thoroughly enjoy being part of Team Crookham.

Gill Butler

I am a Local Authority appointed Governor, currently serving my 2nd term. I am an ex teacher and community fundraiser but I now spend my retirement serving my local community as a District Councillor, an independent member of one the Hampshire foster panels and as a volunteer for Home Start Hampshire. I am proud to be associated with the school, where "Team Crookham" works tirelessly for the benefit of the pupils. 

Jessica Williams

I am Jessica Williams, a Foundation Governor at the school.  My eldest has been through Crookham Infants and my two youngest have just recently joined year R.   I live locally and work as a Wills & Probate Solicitor in Fleet.   I have really enjoyed the first 4 years of being a school governor and I have decided to stay on for a second term.  It is fascinating learning about how the school runs, and being involved in the policies, budgets and aims for the school.   I am also an active member of FOCIS.  My spare time is almost entirely taken up with the children, but I love seeing my friends and family and planning holidays. 

Anna Stewart

I have a background in languages and music. I initially became a teaching assistant and then trained to become a primary school teacher, subsequently moving into music teaching (primarily voice) with a music provider in Berkshire.
Becoming a governor has given a great opportunity to be involved in school life.  I feel excited and fortunate to be a part of the Crookham Infant School community both as a parent and as a governor.  I was very impressed by the school from the moment we had our first visit.
Our son Thomas started in Year R in September 2022 and has had such a wonderful start to school at Crookham Infants with its lovely nurturing environment.
In my spare time I enjoy singing a variety of styles of music and playing the guitar. 

Chris Woolhouse

I joined the board of Governors in October 2023, as a Parent Governor, when our daughter was in Year 1. From the moment we joined the Crookham Infant School community, we have been met with kindness and encouragement from the incredible staff.

I wanted to play a small part in supporting the school, recognising the important role it plays in the Church Crookham community. I have 20 years of consultancy experience as a hydrogeologist, in a variety of strategic and leadership roles, and want to use my professional experience to help continue the school's great work.

Rebecca Webb

After two years as Chair of FOCIS, I am thrilled to be able to continue to support the school as a governor, joining in January 2025.  FOCIS are such a committed team who work so hard to raise funds for the school.

My professional background has been working in senior HR roles in a variety of global corporates where I have partnered with the business and been an active member of leadership teams.  I currently manage Operations for a small family-run business.

Crookham Infants has been such a nurturing environment for my son, and the dedication shown by the staff is so inspiring. I want to be able to give something back to such an incredible school and I am delighted to be part of such a wonderful community.
