Val Brumfield

Hello.
I am Val Brumfield, married, with one son. I have been a Governor at Stanford Junior and Infant School for twelve years, six of them as Chair of Governors. I was born in Laceby as was my father and grandfather and I attended Stanford School along with my two brothers.  I am a qualified (Honours Degree in Education) Primary School teacher and taught at Stanford School during my early career. I have over 25 years experience in senior management within schools, most in the position of Headteacher of a large Primary School. I have undertaken very varied training to update my skills necessary to the role of Governor. Being involved and working with children is a big pleasure.

Naomi Rodgers

Hi, I’m Naomi and I’m a parent governor at Stanford. I am married to Matt, a vicar, and we have three children, one of whom currently attends Stanford and one at preschool. We have lived in Laceby since 2021. I am now a stay-at-home mum but previously I was a primary school teacher in Lincoln. I have enjoyed meeting the staff and pupils at Stanford and am looking forward to supporting the school as a governor. I hope that I can get to know and represent the views of other parents during my time here. Other than looking after my children, I also run a toddler group called Little Lions and support the work of our church. I love getting outside to enjoy the lovely countryside and coastline, as well as baking, gardening and every kind of craft!

Scott Smith

My name is Scott Smith and I have been a Co-opted Governor at Stanford School since November 2018. Since starting this role I have gained valuable insight into the life at Stanford School and truly believe that it is a unique place for pupils to grow and achieve in every way possible. I am married to my wife Clair and we enjoy walking our dog Archie in our spare time.
I work within the coal industry as a site manager where I hope to bring my high health and safety and financial abilities to assist the school where possible.
I am a member of The Grimsby Tri Club where I enjoy taking part in open water swimming, long distance biking and half marathon and full marathon training. My achievements include swimming from Barton to Hull in aid of The Humber Rescue charity, 70.3 Outlaw race at Nottingham and most recently becoming an ‘Iron Man’, completing the 140.6 Ironman distance race.
I look forward to continuing our work with staff, Governors and the community to continue the schools development and vision. 

Mrs Jenny Griffiths

My name is Jen Griffiths, currently a governor for the school and big fan of the school and its pupils.
I have lived in Laceby since my family from Grimsby in 1962.
My husband, Terry and I married in St Margaret’s Laceby Church in 1966. We have two children both of whom attended the school. We also have 3 grown up grandchildren.
Terry was in the Air Force when we met which resulted in us spending the first three years of our marriage in Singapore from 1966-69. I found this a fascinating country with a diverse population and cultures all of which widen my view of our world.
I have always had an interested in history and the natural world and have been lucky to have travelled to some amazing and interesting places.
Being part of the school family has given me opportunities to accompany the children visits closer to home learning more about local history and wildlife.
I have made stone age bangles, learnt how to dress, and march like a roman legion. I have also hunted bugs, been pond dipping and very much looking forward to being part of the children’s learning opportunities for a while yet.

Mrs Julie Jones

Ms L Campbell

My name is Lea Campbell and I live in Laceby village with my partner and 4 children who all attend Stanford School.
Myself and most of my family have attended the school over the years so I have had links with Stanford all of my life which has been a fantastic experience.
I am a qualified hairdresser and nail technician but have also taken on administrative work in the past.
I am looking forward to undertaking my new role as Parent Governor and supporting staff, children and families at Stanford.

Nigel Morrison

Hello, I am Nigel Morrison.  I have returned to be a Governor at Laceby Stanford after a break of a few years.  I was a Governor for about fourteen years and was Vice-Chair for several years.  I have been a Trustee of the Stanford Trust for nearly twenty years being  Vice-Chair for the last five years. 
I have recently taken early retirement from teaching after working in several local schools for the last twenty-three years.  I am still working in schools as a supply teacher.
Both of my children attended Stanford School, before going on to Healing.  They are now at Franklin College.
My wife Emma and I are both members of Caistor Running Club and we can often be seen pounding the highways and byways of Laceby training for another race.  I have completed several marathons, half marathons and 10K races.
I am looking forward to working with the staff and governors to continue the school’s development.
