Governors Profiles
St. Laurence Catholic Primary school has a very active Local Governing Body.
Dr Victoria Mary Rataj-Worsnop (Co-Chair)
I have lived in Cambridge for most of my life and was educated there. I am delighted to be co-chair of governors at St. Laurence school. I am a former secondary headteacher and education consultant. I have worked in all phases of education up to university level. I am committed to holistic education, and my key areas of interest are teaching and learning, curriculum development and mental health. Additionally, I am passionate about sport, particularly netball and volleyball. I am immensely proud to serve St. Laurence school and its community.
Ms Ursula Lowe (Co-Chair)
I became a Foundation Governor in 2019 and am pleased to be co-chair of governors with a responsibility for Safeguarding. I lecture at Cambridge Regional College and have a keen interest in teaching, learning and supporting pupils to reach their potential. I value and enjoy my visits to the school to meet the children and staff. I am usually at the Saturday Mass at St. Laurence and also on the reader rota. I am steadfast in lending my support to the continuance of Catholic education at this school. In my leisure time I enjoy swimming, yoga and Zumba.
Rachel Chalklin (staff governor)
I have been employed as a teacher at St. Laurence since 2012. However, my association with our school goes back much further. I attended St. Laurence as a pupil and my four children were all educated at St. Laurence. During their time at school, I chaired the school PTFA and joined the governing body as a parent governor. In September 2021 I took on the role of Assistant Head. When I am not working, I enjoy craft activities, maintaining my classic car and spending time with family and friends often camping by the sea.
Dr Sue Price (foundation governor)
I am Sue Price, long-standing member of St Laurence's Parish, Cambridge and very honoured to be a foundation Governor for St Laurence's School. I work for the Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology as the Director of Pastoral Outreach. I am very interested in Children's Spirituality and how that can be supported and enabled to flourish. I am the Governor with special responsibility for RE.
