I have been a Governor at Catcott School since 2018, and was fist co-Chair and then Chair of Governors from January 2024 until July 2026.

I have lived in Burtle with my family since 1995. I’m a veterinary surgeon, and worked for many years as a clinician and teacher at the University of Bristol. I then moved on to work in postgraduate veterinary education. I am now retired.

I’ve been involved with Shapwick and Polden cricket club for many years, and my husband and adult son still play for the club. I’m also an active local volunteer for Somerset Wildlife Trust.

Catcott School is a very important part of the local community, and I’m committed to working with the staff, parents and children to allow the school to flourish.

I moved to Edington in 2015 and having recently returned to the area I wanted to get involved in our local community ideally using my skill set as a qualified accountant. After discussions with the chair of governors at Catcott and with encouragement from my employer and professional body I joined the governing board in 2016. Since then I have  primarily focused on the financial review and facilities management of the school. Although I am most comfortable talking about budgets and financials I really enjoy supporting the school to make sure the pupils get the best all round experience possible. My daughter is a pupil at the school.

 

 

 

Paul Moate

I am a local farmers son growing up in the local area, attending Bawdrip and Chedzoy schools, and then later Brymore School where I am also a governor of the trust. My sons both attended Catcott School but have now moved on to secondary school. My background is property development and events. As a co-opted governor my role is to lead on Health & Safety and on OPAL provision at the school.

I am Becky and live in the lovely village of Catcott with Andy, our two sons's Spencer and Jack, and our red setter Rolo a minor celebrity at Catcott Primary School gates some morning's. 

Andy and I run our own local business and have extended family in the area.

Being a governor is rewarding for me, and it great to play a part in this fantastic school and the wider Polden community.
