Christina Brown

Acting Chair of ASEC

My name is Christina Brown and I joined St Peter's as a ParentGovernor in September 2022. I began my professional lifeworking in banking and finance, employed as a Financial Adviser until 2013. At this stage I retrained as a school history teacher and now work as an Assistant Headteacher in a Hampshire secondary school. More recently I have been studying for an MBA in Educational Leadership and Management, to gain enhanced knowledge of school leadership. I am married to Jamie, who has recently commissioned as an Officer in the Royal Engineers. We have two children, both of whom love St Peter’s; the eldest has now moved on to his secondary education at Bishop Wordsworth School, in Salisbury. 

I am passionate about education and ensuring that our young people have access to the best opportunities to enable them success in the future. As an enthusiastic historian I am keen to ensure that non-core curriculum subjects are developed, allowing pupils to access a wide curriculum offer throughout their primary school journey. St Peter’s does an excellent job of supporting all the pupils to develop as a young people, highlighting all aspects of personal and academic development. I feel privileged to be part of the governing body working with the school and the local community to help set our young people up to flourish in the future.

Richard Day

Chair of the ASEC

My name is Richard Day and I joined St Peter's as a Foundation Governor in November 2021. I have spent my whole professional life as an Officer in the Royal Corps of Signals, the communications and IT arm of the British Army. I joined, aged 21, after completing an engineering degree and have since gained Master's degrees in Information Capability Management and Defence Studies. My military specialism is in the development and acquisition of new equipment and capability.

I have been married to Sarah, a headteacher, for over ten years and we have two children, both of whom are at St Peter’s. I am passionate about history and love how St Peter's values the past and the lessons it can give us for the future. I also believe in the value of STEM, and the careers it offers; I think St Peter’ does an excellent job at setting its pupils up for success in this area. Finally, I really want to contribute to my local community. I feel that being a Foundation Governor will allow me to contribute in these, and other areas. I look forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead.
