Meet the Trust Local Committee (TLC)

The Local Governing Committee (LGC) is made up of representatives from parents, staff and the local community and works with the school to achieve the best possible education for all the children.

The governors help the school towards raising standards, support the Headteacher and staff, monitor and evaluate the progress the school makes towards its priorities and targets and is accountable to the Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) for the overall performance of the school and the strategic decisions made.

If you would like more information on the role of the governors, then please contact: [email protected]

The members of the Local Governing Committee are as follows:-

Lynda Kennedy (LK) – (Foundation) Term of office ends 14.12.2025

 My husband and I moved to Nailsea in February 2021. It was during a lockdown so not ideal timing as social contact was extremely restricted. Despite the challenges that Covid 19 brought we have found Nailsea to be a very welcoming place.

We began attending Christ Church in Nailsea when services were allowed to resume and also found it to be very friendly and welcoming. Christ Church is linked to Kingshill School and is required to appoint two foundation governors from the church to sit on the school board. A vacancy had arisen and I was asked to fill the position which is why I unexpectedly find myself a governor at Kingshill Church Primary School. Coincidentally my two grandchildren attend the school and have always been very happy there.

My background is in teaching which is why I was asked to become a governor. I have had the privilege of teaching 4-17 year olds in both mainstream at primary level and specialist provision at secondary level. I have a particular interest and specialism in working with children with Special Needs. It is a credit to the school that they have an inclusive ethos which values all children.

I am new to the area and new to this role so am looking forward to exploring how I can support the staff and children at the school.

Reverend Nicki Bradford – Term of office ends 04.08.2028

I have been the Rector of Christ Church, Nailsea since April 2024. Prior to that I served my curacy on the Quantocks. Kingshill Church Primary School lies within our parish and as its name suggests has the values and tradition of the church at its foundation. The church is invited to nominate two people to join The Local Governing Committee and so as Rector I am delighted to take my place on the committee.

I have a background in primary education and was a school headteacher myself so understand many of the challenges that face schools as they seek to serve children and their families. Before training as a priest, I have also worked as a hospital chaplain, a community worker linking church and secular groups and taught maths to 16-19 years olds, who didn’t want to learn it, so hopefully have a breadth of experiences to bring to the Committee.

I strongly believe that we have a duty to nurture children who are well-rounded and who care for themselves and others, which, while it includes academic attainment, cannot be exclusively measured by that. Therefore as a foundation governor I want to encourage and support the school to build on their Christian values in order to achieve life in all its fulness.

Creslyn Singh – Parent Governor.

Louise Adams, Chair of Governors. Term runs 18.09.25 – 17.09.25
