Serving Governors

Hannah-Beth has spent over 15 years working in education, starting out as a secondary science teacher before joining the founding team of a start-up school, where she spent a decade in senior leadership. Most recently, she was the Head Teacher of a school in North London.

Hannah-Beth now works as Director of Product at Oak National Academy, a government-funded organisation that creates high-quality curriculum resources for schools, teachers and pupils across the country.

Becoming a governor felt like a natural fit.  Hannah-Beth is passionate about supporting schools and their leaders to be the best they can be, and is really excited to be a part of the Marleigh and Fen Ditton community over the years to come.

I’m a recent grad, and moved to Barnwell with a couple of friends after uni. I initially joined the Board of Governors as Finance Governor in early 2021, but now mainly have responsibility for monitoring leadership and management at the school.

At university I was treasurer of Just Love Cambridge, a Christian charity aiming to equip students to engage with the world around them. I first came across the Barnwell/Fen Ditton area through some youth work we were involved in, and have been passionate about the area ever since!

Outside of my job as an auditor, you’ll normally find me out on my bike, listening to my range of music playlists or painfully supporting Arsenal.

Megha trained in biophysics and life sciences and worked as a researcher in academia for nearly six years. Since 2014, she has worked in healthcare communications, helping deliver impactful disease awareness, medical education and digital campaigns. She is passionate about scientific storytelling and empowering girls to engage in STEM. She currently works in science communications with AstraZeneca in Cambridge, and is training to be a designated STEM ambassador. As a parent governor, she is excited about playing a role in curriculum development and exploring opportunities to support the school in the STEM space. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, museums and libraries.

I am the clerk to the Governing Body having joined the school at the start of 2020. I have been a clerk for 15 years working in a number of primary schools around Cambridge and Ely.

I am married with two teenage children and in my spare time enjoy days out with my family, reading and the cinema.

I studied Computer Science at the Unversity of Cambridge where I gained a BA and PhD in the subject. I have supervised several undergraduate courses and spent 3 years as Director of Studies for Computer Science at Sidney Sussex college. I am keen to help young students realised the value of STEM subjects in the early years of their education. Outside of my professional life, I love spending time doing various DIY projects, and building Lego models with my two sons.

I moved to Cambridge in 2023 with my young family and became a school governor shortly after. I’m passionate about increasing accessibility to high quality education and spent 10 years building MyTutor, an online learning platform for near peer tutoring which has supported more than 500,000 pupils. I love to spend my time playing tennis, gardening and hanging out with my wife and daughters.
