Mrs. Jennifer Folliard

I am currently a civil servant, working for Public Health England as a Health Protection Practitioner.  I am a qualified Chartered Environmental Health Practitioner with nearly 20 years of experience in the public sector around the Thames Valley, completing my undergraduate degree at University of Salford and my Masters of Public Health with University of Manchester. I have worked in a Local Authority, University, NHS mental health/community trust and a period of secondment to my professional institute, prior to joining the civil service.  As well as subject knowledge of health and safety, food safety and infectious diseases, I have skills in audit (clinical and quality), training, interpretation of legislation and working in an advisory role.

I am  the Chair of governors and I have been a governor since 2018.

 Mrs. Tina Allison 

Headteacher - Resources Committee 

I am delighted to be joining Long Lane as Head teacher in September 2022.  I have been lucky enough to have taught in 3 different West Berkshire schools for 26+ years and, in this time, have taught in every year group from Reception to Year 6.  After qualifying as a SENDCo in 2011, I have held a number of leadership roles including Phase Leader, SENDCo, Inclusion Leader and for the last four years as Deputy Head and DSL of a large three form entry primary school in Newbury. 

I have 3 children who are now grown and beginning to fly the nest.

My main role on the Governing Board is being held to account for all the activities and decisions made for the best interests of the children, families, and staff.  I also advise on the strategic vision of the school.  I am really looking forward to leading Long Lane and continuing the good work that has already been started.

Miss Kerry Penn

I completed teacher training after having children and worked at Beechwood Primary School in Wokingham as an Infant teacher and Foundation Stage Lead. Prior to this I worked for British Airways in an accounting role. I joined Long Lane in September 2015 as the Year 1 class teacher and am delighted to have recently been appointed as Deputy Head Teacher. I am passionate about developing best practice in teaching and learning and feel fortunate to be part of such a talented and supportive team of staff.

I have three children, a son and two daughters, and was fortunate to be able to take a career break to spend time with them before they started school. I developed a deep interest in child development and early learning while raising my children.

I am excited to have joined the governing board as a Staff Governor. I am looking forward to being able to represent the staff point of view at meetings.

I am really excited to be a part of this governing body.  I am a Law graduate with banking, insurance and corporate finance specialist experience working as a Private Banker for a leading UK Private Bank. C

I am a committed individual with a proven ability to understand complex transactional matters within the banking, private wealth management and corporate market, effectively establishing and leveraging from strong networks of contacts and engaging successfully at all levels. I'm a pragmatic problem solver, client focused and results driven.

I am a project manager specialising in commercial office fit out. I have worked in real estate and facilities management for over 20 years and have developed strong skills in communication, organisation, and planning. I look forward to supporting the school and the Board of Governors to contribute to their ongoing success as a part of the local community.

I am an IT Director for a UK manufacturing company and have worked in the technology industry for more than 20 years. My experience spans everything from software engineering to administering IT infrastructures, to managing teams of people and controlling procurement budgets. I have a BSC in Computer Science and an MSC in Information Systems. 

As a Long Lane Parent, I am keen to play a part in the future development and success of the school and welcome the opportunity to support the Board of Governors.
