  I have been a Governor since 2012 and both my daughters have been through Bolnore Village Primary School. I am a Associate Member at the moment. I serve on the curriculum committee and am a past chair of that. It has been an honour to be a Governor of BVPS, to work alongside the talented staff and watch the school grow from small beginnings and nurture the children of Bolnore. I work for an audiobook production company in London (I can be spotted around the village riding an orange bicycle to the station!) and I also enjoy running and singing in the Brighton Festival Chorus.

• Nick Richards
  Nick Richards

  My name is Nick Richards and I have been a parent governor since March 2022.

  I have been a teacher for over 10 years at a Prep school in West Sussex with various roles including teacher of Maths, Science and Head of PSHE but my main role is as Head of PE.

  Both my daughters are at Bolnore.

  I have been so impressed with the school since they joined and they are so happy here. When the opportunity came up at Bolnore, I was keen to get involved and help the school in anyway I could.

  My main aim as a teacher is to always ensure the children are happy. I hope that as a governor I can help in the same way.

• Maria Fedorec-Kyte
  Maria Fedorec-Kyte

  Hi, I am Maria Fedorec-Kyte and I am very proud to be a newly-elected member of the BVPS Governors. I have a long history working in education in primary and secondary schools, and as an education advisor in Brighton & Hove with a particular focus on behaviour and inclusion. I now work for West Sussex with missing children, continuing to recognise the important role schools play in keeping our children safe.

  We have lived in Bolnore Village for 5 years and our daughter has just started in Reception. The opportunity to choose BVPS for her the start of her education journey was a big contributing factor to our move and we continue to feel confident in the decision we made. I look forward to serving the school in this role and helping maintain the reputation for excellence the school has in Haywards Heath.
