Co-opted Governors

Wing Commander Charlotte Best is the Station Commander at nearby RAF Boulmer. An HR specialist by background, her role includes the responsibility for supporting Service and civilian families in the area, along with community engagement across the North-East. Charlotte's parents were both Primary School teachers, and while she broke the mould by joining the RAF she loves being around schools and was chair of a school Parents' Association near High Wycombe for 2 years prior to her current role. Charlotte lives with her husband Nick in Northumberland and they have one daughter who attends the local primary school; her posting to RAF Boulmer was a dream come true!
