Please find below a list of our Governing Body here at Hartburn Primary School:
Head Teacher
Mr Jonathon Bull – 01/09/26 –
My name is Jonathon Bull and I am proud to serve as Headteacher of Hartburn Primary School. Working closely with our trust, governors, staff, pupils and wider community, I am committed to ensuring that every child receives the very best education and opportunities to thrive. As a member of the governing body, I value the challenge, support and strategic direction that governors provide as we work together to realise our ethos of ‘Learning for Life’.
I joined Hartburn Primary School in September 2026 and feel privileged to lead a school with such a strong sense of community and ambition. I am passionate about creating an environment where every child feels safe, valued and inspired to achieve their full potential. At Hartburn, we believe that all children deserve access to a broad, balanced and enriching curriculum that enables them to develop both academically and personally.
Central to our vision is ensuring that children develop the knowledge, skills and character needed to succeed in an ever-changing world. We place a strong emphasis on reading, communication, critical thinking and aspiration, whilst providing opportunities that broaden horizons and help pupils understand their role within the local, national and global community. We want our children to leave Hartburn with confidence, resilience and a genuine love of learning. I am incredibly proud to work alongside a dedicated governing body whose commitment to continuous improvement helps drive positive change and secure the best possible outcomes for all pupils. Together, we strive to ensure that Hartburn remains a place where every child can flourish and develop the foundations for a successful future.
Chair of Governors
Jill Ellison – 04/10/26-03/10/30
I am proud to serve as Chair of Governors and to support the continued success and development of our school. My professional background is in Human Resources, where I have built extensive experience in leadership, people management and organisational development. These skills help me contribute to the strategic direction of the school and support effective governance.
My connection to the school is also a personal one, as both of my children attended the school and enjoyed happy and successful years here before moving on to the next stage of their education. Having experienced the school as a parent, I understand the importance of a nurturing, inclusive and ambitious learning environment. I am passionate about ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive, reach their full potential and create lasting positive memories of their time at our school. It is a privilege to work alongside dedicated staff, governors and families to help shape the future of our school community.
Staff Governor
Miss Esther Hoskin
My name is Esther Hoskin, and I was elected to the governing body as the staff governor in January 2025. I have been part of the Hartburn Primary community for the past five years and currently teach in Year 2. I absolutely love teaching and feel privileged to work with such enthusiastic and inspiring children. I also lead Geography across the school—an area of the curriculum I am especially passionate about. I’m dedicated to supporting the continued improvement of our school and ensuring all pupils have every opportunity to reach their full potential and flourish.
Co-opted Governor
Ann-Marie Wilson
I am a Mum to two children in the school, currently year 2 and year 4 and my aim is to be able to represent other parents to make sure that school provides the best possible opportunities and experiences for all our children. I have been a Local Authority Lawyer for over 15 years, specialising in child protection issues, along with some education areas such as school appeals. I hope that my experience can prove useful as a member of the Governing body.
