Governors

    Ann Denner

    Chair of Governors

    Ann has been involved in governance in Devon for more than 20 years, serving on infant, primary, federation, secondary and Multi Academy Trust Boards. Ann is passionate about ensuring education is not a postcode lottery and that children and young people are able to attend school in their local community and can thrive, flourish and succeed.

    Ann currently serves on two local governing boards within the Ted Wragg Trust and on the board of a primary Multi Academy Trust in Devon and believes it is a privilege to be involved in young people’s education by supporting and challenging schools in being ambitious for all their students.

    Ann also works as a governance professional in a number of East Devon schools, as well as working with the schools that make up the Honiton Learning Community.

    Tina Sillitoe

    Staff Governor

    I first became a governor in my daughter’s school in 2001, taking it through academisation, recruitment of 3 head teachers, numerous OFSTED inspections, and a new roof. I stepped down in 2024 after 23 years, 13 as Chair. I am interested to bring my experience to the board at Sidmouth College but as a staff member. I joined Sidmouth College in April 2024 having worked in a local primary school and for the local authority for the previous 16 years. Sidmouth College has been very welcoming to me, and I hope that I can give something back through my role as a staff governor.
