mrs l pond - Headteacher
 

Mrs Pond is the Headteacher at Hungerhill. Her previous roles as Advanced Skills Teacher and Deputy Headteacher allowed her to contribute towards the Outstanding judgement that the school received in October 2012. Since then, she has been heavily involved in working across a number of local secondary and primary schools, in developing aspects of teaching and learning and system leadership. It is her firm belief that evidenced-based practice should drive school improvement and that as a school leader she plays a critical role in using research to develop her practice and inform her decisions to allow her to improve outcomes for all children at Hungerhill.

 Mr Antony King - Staff Governor

I am delighted to have been appointed as Staff Governor at Hungerhill School. I have been a Head of Year at Hungerhill since January 2022 and I am currently Head of Year to an amazing cohort of Year 8 students. 

Previous to this I have had similar roles at schools in Doncaster and Goole, where I also sat on their Local Governing Boards.

My career in the Royal Navy, prior to one in education, has given me the skill set of leading teams effectively to bring the very best out of them, which is the reason I wanted to be a representative of the student’s voices at Governor level ensuring that they get the very best from their journey at Hungerhill.

 Mr Jon watson

I feel that I have a great deal to offer both Hungerhill and the Trust.

I am passionate about education. I am an experienced Primary leader and want to further extend my knowledge and experience. I also want to support my local community (I live in Barnby Dun, having lived in Edenthorpe for the previous 10 years).

I am honest, professional, enthusiastic, and a good team player. I am willing to learn, like asking questions and always offer loyal support.
