The Reverend Canon Paul Seaman
Since 2017 I have been the Rector of St Mary’s Church in Pulborough and the Ex-Officio Governor of our village church primary school.
Before ordination I trained as a primary school teacher and taught for a short time in an infants’ school in Berkshire. Following ordination I have served as the Vicar/Rector of several parishes and served as a governor on a number of governing bodies over the last thirty years. This included serving on the governing body of Rumboldswhyke School for eleven years when I was Rector of St Georges, Whyke.
Among my other responsibilities, I currently serve as the Vice Chair of the Diocesan Board of Education which is the body that has the responsibility of overseeing the work of all the church schools across Sussex. I am very pleased to serve as a Trustee for the Bishop Luffa Learning Partnership, supporting the outstanding work being done in our schools and looking to expanding and developing the work of the Trust in the years ahead.

Mrs Ann Smith
I retired from teaching following a career as a music specialist with experience in both Secondary and Primary education. I also ran a successful piano tuition business for many years. I have a first-class honours degree in Music and Related Arts (joint) and a PGCE.
I have served on the Governing Board of Lavant CE Primary School for 5 years and am particularly interested in championing SEND and disadvantaged children. I currently have two grandchildren attending Bishop Luffa and two who recently progressed to Further Education. I have a broad and balanced outlook on life and would like to ensure that pupils attending schools within the Bishop Luffa Learning Partnership have the best education within a safe, caring, and positive environment to allow them to build resilience and hope for the future.
