Chair of Governors

Hanna Froger - Co-opted Governor

I am a teacher in a large secondary school specialising in all things Design and Technology. I am committed to the academic and pastoral development of my students hope to bring my expertise Design Technology, Food Technology and Teaching and Learning to the SASF and the pupils of Buxted and Bonners. I am currently Head of Department and was previously Head of Year and have worked with many primary schools on the transition from primary to secondary.

Interests

I have a daughter at Uckfield College and one at Buxted school and a son who will follow them in the future. I am excited about being part of the SASF and looking forward to seeing the direction in which both schools will go over the next few years

Ross Moss - Parent Governor

Background: I have worked in the charity sector for over 15 years and now work for the Sussex Wildlife Trust in a membership engagement and fundraising role. I am passionate about caring for the natural world and wildlife and believe nature and time spent outside can support and enhance educational priorities and outcomes. I live in Buxted and have two sons who attend the school.

Interests: As a family we love spending time exploring our local area. I also like to bake and keep active with time at the gym or at our allotment.

Ben Sear – Foundation Governor

I became the Rector of Maresfield Church in 2019, though I was a member of the congregation previously until 2012.  I originally studied biochemistry at university and worked for the Medical Research Council before starting my theological training.  Prior to our arrival in Maresfield, I was based in Patcham (Brighton) for four years during my on-the-job training.

I am married to Claudia and have two daughters.  I am very glad to be part of village life and to have this opportunity to support the school and develop its links with the church.

Harriet Creamer - Co-opted Governor / Co Vice-chair

Background: I am a lawyer by training and worked for many years as a partner in a large City law firm.  After a period of time out while my children were growing up, I returned to work as an independent consultant, advising on management and people development issues for a range of law firms across the UK and abroad.  I believe very strongly that all children and young people should be able to access an excellent education and have previously been a governor in both the private and the state sector.  I am also a trustee at St Peter & St James Hospice in Wivelsfield Green.

Interests: I am married with three grown up sons who I enjoy spending time with them when I can.  I’m a keen choral singer - I sing with The Bach Choir in London (of which I’m also a trustee) and am a huge supporter of music provision in schools.

The Rev’d C. Peter Molloy was appointed rector of the Parish of Buxted and Hadlow Down in September 2020. Previously, he served in the Anglican Church of Canada for 20 years in Dawson City, Yukon; Vancouver, British Columbia; Christopher Lake, Saskatchewan; and Westport, Ontario. Whilst serving in the Diocese of Saskatchewan, he also served as Director of Youth Ministry. He took a sabbatical in 2015 and was appointed as a Visiting Scholar at Pusey House/St. Cross College, Oxford where he looked at the Pursuit of Holiness as a Mission Imperative for the Local Church. He hopes to assist with the integration of the Christian faith into the life of the schools in the parish. He has a son in Buxted school.

I began my career in HR, having studied for a postgraduate diploma at the University of Calgary. After a brief spell in California, I returned to England and worked for a major property and financial services company, and subsequently for a leading firm of city lawyers as Director of HR.

I have a Master's Degree in Training and Development from the University of Leicester and am currently employed as CEO of the charity Imago Community which empowers individuals, families and communities through support and opportunities.
