Sarah Robinson
Co-Opted Governor
I became a governor for Whipton Barton Federation in June 2021, soon after my husband and I moved into Whipton to lead the local parish church, St Boniface. We love Whipton and want to see the children and families here thriving. I have a background in primary school teaching and so really wanted to support Whipton Barton Federation.
