Ms Vicki Abraham (Chair of School Committee)​

​

"I became a school governor at Blackmoor Park infant school in 2020 and have served as Vice-chair of the governing board moving to Chair of the school committee once we joined the Three Saints Academy Trust. My motivation will always be to ensure our children are provided with a safe, happy and effective learning environment. I have one daughter who is still in Primary school and her educational journey has been the catalyst for my governance journey. I am a serving police officer with over 16 years experience which gives me a good understanding of safeguarding for our children and families."

My background is in Finance, with over 25 years of experience - I have been lucky enough to work across different organisations and sectors including – Insurance, Non for Profit Tech. This has given me valuable insight into how business works. My current role is Systems Transformation Manager. It’s these skills that will allow me to challenge and support within the school committee."

Mr Edd Naylor (Acting Headteacher) 

​​​

I am currently serving as the Acting Headteacher at Blackmoor Park Infant School and Kindergarten, a role I began in April 2025. Alongside this, I am the Director of Early Years for The Three Saints Academy Trust. These two roles allow me to lead at Blackmoor and support the wider Trust, ensuring a high standard of education for all children.

​

I was asked to step in as the Acting Headteacher at Blackmoor, and I embraced this opportunity with great enthusiasm. My decision to join the school was driven by my strong commitment to school improvement and my belief that every child deserves the best possible start to their educational journey. With over 15 years of experience in Early Years and Primary Education, I have a thorough understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the vital role it plays in a child’s development. It is truly rewarding to witness the children at Blackmoor grow, develop, and reach their potential, from their early years right through to Year 2.

​

As an experienced senior leader, I am dedicated to ensuring that Blackmoor Park Infant School remains a place where all children can thrive. I am passionate about creating an environment in which every child, regardless of background or ability, is able to flourish and achieve their full potential.

Looking forward, I am excited to continue making a positive impact within both the school and the wider Trust, driving improvements and ensuring that Blackmoor remains a nurturing, dynamic place for learning.
