Corinna Sutton - Headteacher

I am absolutely thrilled to be the new headteacher of Oldmixon Primary School. This is my 28th year in the teaching profession and I have worked in lots of different schools in that time from a British army school in Cyprus to a large Junior school in Bridgwater. I absolutely love my job as every day is different and I get to lead a wonderful team of staff and see our children and young people learn, grow and flourish.

Outside of school I love to be with my family and friends, cooking and socialising. I have a cat called Pickles, and 2 dogs - Daisy and Bruno. I also enjoy drama and theatre and have been in many amateur productions on stage for the past 11years.

Tony Cooksley - Co-opted

The majority of my working life I worked in health and safety in the construction industry. I have always been keenly interested in children, having been a foster parent, active in scouting and teaching schoolchildren to swim. I became involved in school governance when the then headteacher asked me, with my construction background, to keep an eye on the building of the new hall. I have been active in the governing body ever since. I have assisted on a number of school camps, both at Oldmixon and another school, and before covid spent one half day each week working with children in the school, something I am keen to resume when permitted. The school has always had a good feeling about, staff are excellent and the behaviour of the children a credit to the school.

Chris Leeson - Co-opted

'I am Chris and I was fortunate to teach at Oldmixon for seven years. I started as an NQT and thoroughly enjoyed my time at the school before deciding to leave for a new challenge in 2020. I joined the Governing Body in 2018 as a staff member and decided to continue this role after I left. The community feel of the school and the special relationship the school has with both pupils and parents was the major reason I decided to continue as a governor. I am still teaching at a different school in Weston and away from work, you will find me playing football or enjoying spending time with my little boy Charlie who was born shortly after I left Oldmixon.'

Lisa Williams - Clerk

I am the clerk to the Governing Body at Oldmixon Primary School.  I joined the school in March 2020, but I have worked as a clerk in various schools in Weston super Mare for nearly 20 years, and I currently clerk for 5 local schools including 3 in the ELAN trust.  I started clerking when my own children were young, and it gave me a great insight into the work that goes on ‘behind the scenes’ in a school.  I also work as an LSA in a local Special School.

Laura Clements - Co-opted

After completing my teaching degree at the University of Reading, I enjoyed working in a variety of schools in Slough, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.  I grew up in Clevedon and moved back to the South West in 2016 when I started my teaching role at Oldmixon Primary School. I am lucky enough to teach the Reception class and I am the EYFS lead.  I love to spend time outdoors with my family.
