Meet the Governors
Jayne Bullock
Joining October 2017, I am proud to be Chair of Governors at The Grove Primary School and feel privileged to work alongside such a committed staff team to achieve the best outcomes for all Grove children. I have a particular Governor link to maths and highest attaining learners.
Working in education for over twelve years I currently manage Collaborative Schools Ltd co-ordinating the partnership working of the Trowbridge cluster.

I am the Deputy Head and SENDCo at The Grove. This means that I get to work across the school with all of the children, parents and wider members of our Grove Community.
I enjoy keeping fit and regularly unwind with a gym session or short run in the evenings, something that I love to share with the children at the school during my involvement with sporting events such as the swimming gala and support of our school football team.
I am very proud to be the Headteacher at The Grove Primary School. I joined the school in 1999 and have held various roles during that time. I am passionate about the school and the children in our care and enjoy my job immensely – even on the bad days!
Work and being a mum of two lovely boys keeps me very busy and spending time with my family is my favourite way to unwind. I try hard to keep fit and healthy and have recently joined a gym where I aim to attend a couple of classes each week, fingers crossed! Reading is a passion of mine and I’ve always got a book on the go. My other interests include music, walking, going to the cinema or spending time with friends.

I am delighted to be part of the Governor team at The Grove. I joined as a member in April 2018. I have a child at The Grove who joined Foundation Stage in 2016 and I hope that my son will also come to the school. I currently work in Human Resources for a charity and hope that I have some skills that will be of value to the school. I think we have a fantastic school and I am very proud to be part of it!

I have been a governor at The Grove since February 2015, both of my children had incredibly positive experiences here and I felt like I wanted to give something back to the school and I just can't seem to leave!
I very much enjoy supporting the fantastic staff to provide all of the children at The Grove with a really positive school experience.
I joined the Governing body in September 2020 and I am delighted to be part of the team. Prior to having my children I was a primary school teacher in Wiltshire and loved it. My eldest is currently at The Grove and hopefully in a few years my youngest will be too. I am passionate about Education and all things that make school such a wonderful place for children. In my free time I like to bake and draw.

I have known The Grove school for many years and my grandson was once a pupil at the school. I have recently retired from a career in Health, Social Care and Academia and wanted to offer my unique skill set and experiences to supporting the pupils, parents and staff of the school. I am delighted to be offered this role and aspire to helping the school continue its aspirations for all the children in its care.

I joined the Grove in January 2020 as the Clerk to the Governing Body. I have been a Clerk since 2011 and continue to support other schools within Wiltshire in this role.
