Governors

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 and Upper Schools. 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

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 Genevieve Mondahl

I joined Trinity as a teacher in September 2018 and have since had two children, with my eldest starting his school journey at a school local to my home this year. I am now going into my second year as staff governor and feel lucky to be the representative for a strong staff team, dedicated to the children’s successful experiences in school and within the community.

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.

Community Governor – Susannah Hanson

I became a Governor in January 2026 . I work for Wiltshire Council in finance for Adult Social Care before that my work roles have been supporting children and young people with complex needs  towards independence  . I am a Churchwarden at Holy Trinity Church,with whom the school has a flourishing relationship and I  live in Frome . I am a Magistrate sitting in the Adult and Youth Courts and am currently the Youth Panel Chair for Avon ,Somerset and Gloucestershire.   I am used to working with young people in varied ways and hope to bring my skills to support the school, staff and pupils to the full.

Parent Governor – Alice James

I joined the governors in 2025 as a parent governor and have two children who attend the school. I have also been a primary school teacher for over 14 years and currently teach in Warminster, so have an up-to-date knowledge of policy, curriculum and day-to-day school life. I am passionate about education and community, and am keen to use my experience as both a parent and a teacher to support Trinity.

Parent Governor – Eleanor Butler

With two children loving their time at Trinity, I joined as a Parent Governor in November 2025.  Outside of school life I run a public relations consultancy that specialises in a wide variety of sectors, including education and community engagement.  As well as a very brief stint as an English Teacher, I have also previously sat on the Board of Trustees of a large regional charity, and so I hope my experience can be of benefit to the school, our community and the children who will remember their time at Trinity as some of the best years of their lives

Clerk to the Governors – Mrs Jane Rose
