Karen Frazer (Headteacher)

I have been the Headteacher at St Peter’s CE Primary School since September 2015.  I believe passionately that the role of education is to ensure that all children are supported to achieve their full potential academically, whilst also providing them with opportunities and experiences to enable them to discover skills and talents in other areas of the curriculum, such as art, music, sport and drama.

Reverend Dr Charles Clapham (Chair)

I was born in Scotland and brought up there and in South Africa. I studied in Manchester, Sheffield, Durham and New York, and spent twelve years in parish ministry in the north of England, and four years as a university chaplain, before being appointed Vicar at St Peters in 2015. I am married with two children, both of whom attended St Peter's primary school.  My passions include philosophy, music and decent coffee.

I was a trustee of the Sulgrave Club for Young People in Shepherds Bush from 2007 to 2018 and have been involved in many other local organisations.

After volunteering with Glass Door Homeless Charity for over 20 years, in 2023 I co-founded Sunday Suppers, a project to feed the homeless and those experiencing food poverty every Sunday evening in Hammersmith.

Link governor for Health & Safety

Lee Campbell- Guthrie

I was born in Forest Gate in East London but now live in Chiswick with my wife Holly and our two children Elsie and Juno. I am the current Production editor at the Financial Times and have spent all of my working life in print media and journalism, working mainly for the Times and Sunday Times, and now the FT. 

For many years I worked on the Sunday Times Parent Power supplement, which was the most authoritative newspaper guide to UK schools. This has given me a unique insight into what makes a successful school. 

Having children of mixed heritage has given me an extra purpose to ensure they feel safe and confident in their surroundings with a sense of equality among their peers. Now as a governor I very much look forward to helping the school in any way I can.

Link Governor for History, Sustainability and Climate Change

Hester Nancy Carro

I have worked in Children's Social Care for the Department for Education since January 2018, having previously been a child protection social worker in London and then a social researcher for the Tilda Goldberg Centre.

I currently lead a team focused on the strengthening how safeguarding partners (police, local authority, health) work together and with relevant agencies (such as education settings) to promote the welfare and safeguard children. I believe passionately that children need to feel safe and supported to enable them to thrive. I am delighted to offer my experience as a governor at St Peter's.

Over the years, I have volunteered for a number of organisations supporting unaccompanied asylum seekers and refugees. I live locally in Hammersmith, attend St Peter's church as a worshipper and have a 2 year old daughter called Violet. My interests include history, reading and travel and I am half Spanish.

Emily Cook

I joined the school in September 2017 and have had the pleasure of teaching across both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Currently, I serve as the SENDCO and Inclusion Lead, a role that allows me to focus on promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion—a passion of mine for several years. In addition to this, I also lead the science curriculum.

Outside of work, I enjoy practicing yoga and try to live a yogic lifestyle. I also love photography, spending time outdoors, and traveling. I'm also striving to live more sustainably.

Staff governor, SENDCO and Inclusion Lead

Current term of office 6/9/21 to 5/9/25

Mina Frost

With two children in the school, I have a long-term investment in the school as a parent and member of the community.  I am a lawyer and have worked in healthcare for 20+ years supporting companies to operate ethically, efficiently, and effectively.  As a parent governor I would contribute these skills as well as my experience as a SEN and ethnically diverse parent. 

I believe it’s critically important that the Governors represent the school, student and community population from a diversity and inclusion perspective.  While there are many areas where I feel I can advance the ethos of the school, the need to ensure that all children have access to a broader and balanced curriculum is amongst the most valuable.

Sara Harnett

It was ten years’ experience of being a Governor of a church primary school in Hertfordshire that inspired me to become a “late entrant” to teaching.  It was one of the best decisions I have taken and I now live in Hammersmith and work as a Deputy Head at Godolphin and Latymer School, which is an independent girls’ secondary school.  I am really enjoying supporting St Peter’s as a Governor and look forward to finding out more about Computing as my link area.  I have two adult children who have grown up to share my love of reading and sailing.
