Stacey Parsons - Chair of Governors

I joined the Governing Body at Manor Infant School when my son started in year R in September 2015.  I've lived locally for over 30 years & chose to have my son start is education journey within the Manor family.  Five of my family work or have worked in schools, including a now retired Head Teacher. I am a qualified Project Manager working for a global electronics company, if I'm not working at home I split my time between London & Basingstoke. 

Megan Beardsmore-Rust - Vice Chair/Safeguarding Governor

I am pleased to have my first role within a governing body as part of the Manor family. I have thought about being a governor for a while, but the perfect opportunity arose when my son started at Manor. Both my parents were primary school teachers, with my mum ending her career as the head teacher at a primary school in Sussex. I am a senior manager at a hospital trust in Surrey, managing the division of medicine, giving me a good understanding of working in a public sector organisation and the challenges that comes with that.

As a mother of two with 9 years of teaching experience, I was excited to join the governing body in 2021. I have enjoyed working in both primary and secondary settings, providing me with a unique perspective of multiple levels of education. I am currently a stay at home mum, volunteering as social media manager for an ethical children's toy company. I am passionate about education and try to put my Marine Biology degree, interest in baking and experience in education to use when exploring learning with my children at home. I find any and all opportunities to enhance my personal development or experience new roles, I was lucky enough to be an Olympic games maker which was a very proud moment. I am very excited about developing my training further and becoming a valued member of the governing body, to support other children’s education and social and emotional well-being and promote the school family.

After being interested in school governance for a while, I was very pleased to join the governing body of Manor Infant School in September 2020. I come from an education background, having taught in a primary school in Slough for five years and now I've completed my PhD in education. During my teacher training, I specialised in art and Philosophy for Children, and my main interests lie in ensuring a safe, happy learning environment to promote the wellbeing of all children. I have a personal connection to Manor Infant School, as I was a pupil here in the early 1990s when my grandmother was headteacher.
