Meet our Parent Reps

Parent Reps are a new role within Harrietsham CE Primary School and we expect the role to grow and develop throughout the years.  We have at least 1 Parent Rep for each class within the school.

The role of our Parent Reps

Our Parent Reps help to arrange vital support for organised events within the school amongst the parents in their classes. 

They also support the parent body within their classes by ensuring that all parents feel included within our school community and connected in some way.  In addition, they support their class teacher.  They will ensure that new parents to the class are added to the class What'sApp group and they will seek parental support for events as required by the teacher (e.g. school trips etc).

Our Classes

Ducklings Class

Cygnets Class

Year 1

Kingfishers Class

Hello my name is Imogen. I have the privilege to be the Mum of three fantastic children - Eli (Robins), Amara (Kingfishers) and Oriana who is yet to start school. You will either see Oriana strapped to my back or sat in the pram zooming along the A20 on the school run.  Becoming a mother, cliché I know, is my proudest achievement. My children have certainly given me a reason to strive to be the best version of myself. I am a people person - I love hearing people’s life stories and all the weird and wonderful things life has thrown our way and ultimately how we have overcome them. Career wise, I have been a dog groomer since I was 16 years old - it is my creative outlet - making a dog feel more comfortable, looking and smelling better, gives me real job satisfaction. 

Wrens Class

Year 2

Sparrows Class

Hello, my name is Hayley and my son, Elliot, is in Sparrows class. I have chosen to be the Parent Rep for Sparrows as I am passionate about providing links between home and school, and, as I only work part-time, you will frequently find me on the playground doing the school run. I live in the village with my family and our favourite things to do are take trips to the beach (all year round), go to the zoo (I love tigers and giraffes) and explore new places, but equally I am happy at home with a cuppa!

Jays Class

I'm Emily and Class Rep for Jays (Year 2) - My son, Reg, is in this class. It felt important to me to take this role on to support and help as much as I can for Reg and his class. I also have Gracie who is now in Year 7, she thoroughly enjoyed her time at Harriethsam Primary and has lots of fond memories here.  We moved to Harrietsham from London almost four years ago and haven't looked back. We try to get involved with the school and the community as much as time allows when we aren't at football or horses! 

Year 3

Robins Class

Hi! I’m Rachel, class rep for Robins Class.  I am Mummy to Michael (Robins) and Erin (who has now left the school).  We moved to the village 4 years ago and we love living here.  I work full time for a trade union and am lucky to have a job that I love.  As a family, we enjoy spending time with the people we love - from woodland adventures and holidays with friends to visiting family in the big smoke!  I am looking forward to being a Class Rep and supporting the school community.

Woodpeckers Class (Shared role)

Hi, I’m Kerri - Mum to Jude (Woodpeckers) and Roma (who is due to start school in September).  We have lived in Lenham for nearly 4 years, and love our life here. As well as being a Mum, I work 4-days a week heading up an Events Team for an international membership association. I have been with my company for 19 years and am lucky to travel around the world!   I’m also Secretary to Lenham Football Club’s U7’s team, so have to be super organised!   I am looking forward to supporting the school in my role as Parent Rep for Woodpeckers Class.

Woodpeckers Class (Shared role)

Hey, I’m Claire.  I live in Harrietsham and I'm Mum to Reggie who has now left the school and Maisie who is in Woodpeckers. I absolutely love being part of Harrietsham Primary School. I have my own little sweetie business where I work from home, which gives me the opportunity to be able to be a part of lots of things with my children. I’m looking forward to being able to help our little ones as Woodpeckers Class Rep. 

Year 4

Swallows Class

Hi, I'm Claire. I'm mum to Havana and Vienna and Parent Rep for both Kestrels and Swallows Classes. I live in the village with my family and our 2 little dogs.  I have been really fortunate to be a part of my children's school life, volunteering my time to help on school trips, which I have loved helping on.  I am looking forward to continuing to support the classes as a Parent Rep in the future.

Nightingales Class

Eagles Class

Hi, I’m Nikki, mum to Hollie (who has now left the school) and Liam (Eagles). I’ve lived in Harrietsham for almost 20 years now and am looking forward to being the Eagles Class Rep and getting more involved in school life. I am a full time Procurement Manager for a software company, covering the UK and Canada and I am also the secretary for Lenham Wanderers U9s football team. Besides being a taxi driver taking my children to various activities, I enjoy playing netball in the Lenham league. Please do reach out if you need anything.

Hi, I'm Claire. I'm mum to Havana and Vienna and Parent Rep for both Kestrels and Swallows Classes. I live in the village with my family and our 2 little dogs.  I have been really fortunate to be a part of my children's school life, volunteering my time to help on school trips, which I have loved helping on.  I am looking forward to continuing to support the classes as a Parent Rep in the future.

Kestrels Class (Shared role)

Hi, I’m Alexandra - Mum to Sophie in Year 5 and James who is at secondary school.  I’ve worked in travel for over 20 years, but I recently left my job to be around for the children more. I love spending time with my family and friends and I enjoy long walks with our dog, Mabel.  I’m looking forward to helping to support the school where I can and give something back for all they’ve done for James and are doing for Sophie.

Year 6

Herons Class

My name is Stef and I have a daughter in Year 6, and a son in Year 10 at The Lenham School.   Although I don’t live in Harrietsham, we love the school and the local community.  Having moved my daughter here part way through Year 1 we haven’t looked back - I’m always so impressed with the commitment, support and hard work of all of the team at Harrietsham. I’ve always been part of fundraising, whether it be through my own school life or now my children’s. I think it’s very important, especially in recent times, to be able to give back and help as much as we can to our children’s resources and to the environment available to them at school - and, of course, to future children’s too.  I look forward to helping as much as possible, and am fully aware as a full-time working parent how challenging it can be to feel you are doing enough -  I am sure we can help in any way we can. 

Hawks Class

Hi, I'm Jess. I have two children - one in Hawks and one in secondary school. I work for a local charity in the Comms team. I have completed several courses on neurodiversity in children. I love knitting, music and nature.
