I have taught in both Key Stage One and Key stage Two and I became Deputy Head at Oakdale in 2007.  I am accountable for data in school and work with the Headteacher to ensure that teaching and learning meets the needs of our pupils and that every child makes good progress from their starting point. 

I am extremely proud and passionate about our school.  Together we drive school development and I feel privileged to be a part of a team which strives to achieve the best for the pupils in our care.  In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my three children, travelling and retail therapy.

As a qualified accountant I have spent over 25 years working as a finance professional in the NHS including 7 years as a finance director managing budgets of up to £900m. In these roles I have worked with and been responsible for governance and risk management, both financial and non financial. As well as financial stewardship I have also been responsible for other areas including contracting, performance monitoring, strategic and operational planning, information technology and estates. 

I feel I can bring my knowledge and experience to benefit and support the strategic direction of Oakdale School.  When I visited the school I was impressed by the positive and friendly atmosphere that existed and the strong desire to develop to meet the needs of a changing and growing school population. 

My name is Elizabeth Clement and I am a staff governor.  I hold a B.A.Hons in English Literature and Fine Art and PGCE completed in 2013. I have seven years of experience in both key-stage 1 and 2, in a range of vastly different schools in England and Wales.

In my spare time I paint in oils and enjoy yoga.

I joined the Governing body to make a difference contributing to the lives of everyone at Oakdale; supporting children, parents and staff alike to achieve our ethos and vision.     

My name is Isabel Clark and I am pleased to be the Clerk to governors for Oakdale Primary School.

I am an experienced Clerk and work for a number of other schools across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire.

My background is Education; having been a third-tier officer at Peterborough City Council (before I ‘retired’) being responsible for School Commissioning and School Admissions. My role is to record the minutes of each Governing Body meeting as well as provide advice on any legal issues or protocol

My name is Ilona Wrigley. I was appointed Head of Oakdale School in September 2013.

I was a member of the Governing Body at my last school for 10 years. I have been in education for sixteen years and have taught all primary age ranges during this time.

I was Deputy Head at Nene Valley Primary for 5 years and spent two terms there as Acting Head before coming to Oakdale.

I am passionate about teaching and learning and love the challenges that headship brings. I am very excited about the future and all we can achieve as a Governing Body for the benefit of the school.

I live in Stamford with my daughter who is now at University.  When I have free time I enjoy films, shopping, crime drama ( I'm a massive Columbo fan!), eating out and I would be lost without my Kindle!
