Meet Our School Governors

Below you will find some information about our school governors. For further details, including terms of office for each governor, please refer to the Governor Information document at the bottom of the page.

Chair of Governors – Janice Sledge

I became a parent governor in November 2020 because I was keen to put something back into the school community. I have one child at the school and two who have now moved onto Middle School. In my previous life before caring for my children full time, I worked in local government. I assisted the Chief Executive, senior managers and councilors to understand the performance of the services they provided to the local community and where improvements needed to be made.

Headteacher – Mrs Amanda Seager

I joined Trinity School in September 2015. I have been a member of the governing body of each of my three former schools, a a teacher, deputy headteacher and headteacher so I can bring a wealth of experience of governance issues. This is my second headship role in a Somerset school, having spent the previous three years as Headteacher at Ditcheat Primary School.

Governor – Rev Ian Snares

I’ve been Vicar of Holy Trinity Church in Frome since 2022, having moved from a church in Hampshire, and joined the Board of Governors at Trinity First School that September. My wife teaches at Frome College where our two teenagers are students. Before becoming a Vicar, I worded as an engineering manager for the Ford Motor Company and have been a trustee of youth work charities. I am keen to build links across our wonderful Frome community, and am excited to see church and school partnering together to provide the best education and care for our children and their families.

Teacher Governor – Mrs Angeles Solway

It is with great pleasure that I have joined the governing body at our lovely school this year! I have been teaching for a long time and joined Trinity First School in 2016. I have been a governor previously and am very excited about being one again, here, in the school that I love. I have 4 wonderful sons who are now in their 20s and making their way in the world. School life keeps me busy but I also do some voluntary work at the Clifton Children’s Society during school holidays. I look forward to and enjoy beautiful weekends at the coast in our old but trusty campervan!

Parent Governor – Alice Sykes

I have been a parent at Trinity since 2015 (I have 1 child still here, in Year 4) and I joined the governing board in 2021. All my children loved their time at Trinity and I was keen to support the school as a parent governor. Before looking after my children full time, I worked in the production department of a large publishing house – project managing the life of a book, from manuscript to printed copies. In my spare time, I enjoy walking our dog around Frome and wild swimming.

Parent Governor – Sam Wray

I became a governor in April 2023. My eldest son is at Trinity, and with my youngest yet to start, I’m likely to be a Trinity Parent for 7 more years. My background is in IT and technology with experience across a range of managerial positions. I have spent a lot of time providing IT services into education, and saw the role of governor as an ideal way to give something back to a school that is doing so much, not just for my son but for the wider Frome community.

Clerk to the Governors – Mrs Jane Rose

I’ve worked in the office and as Clerk to Governors at Trinity School since the beginning of 2006. It is a very interesting and varied role. Both my children came to Trinity and have moved on with my daughter, a dance teacher at Danceworks and cafe manager at the Cheese & Grain and my son is in his 3rd year at university studying Sport & Exercise Therapy. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, walking our black lab, going to the theatre and being a member of the Frome Musical Theatre Company.
