  • St Barnabas MAT Director Profiles
    St Barnabas MAT Director Profiles Mark Lees I am currently the Chair of St Barnabas CE MAT Board and have held this position since April 2019. It has been a privilege to work alongside our Heads of School and Sean Powers during this time, and to see how our schools are improving year on year. I have had a long career in teaching and have been headteacher of several primary schools in Cornwall. Last year, I worked as the Interim Director for Schools for the Diocese of Truro and more recently I am working as an acting CEO in a MAT in Falmouth. These roles have enabled me to support and challenge the MAT’s senior team. It is an exciting time at St Barnabas CE MAT and I look forward to my continued involvement. Andy Venter After seven and a half years at Oracle I’ve recently joined Microsoft, focussing on transformational IT projects (predominantly finance and HR) across local and regional government. I live in Truro with my wife, and I have three daughters. In my spare time I like to go for long county or beach walks, kayaking and keeping up with sport (especially rugby). Geoffrey Postles I became a MAT director in early 2019, and am now Chair of both the Resources and Remuneration Committees. I am also a governor of two C o f E VA primary schools in St. Mellion and St. Dominic where I chair their Resources Committee. Prior to this I stood as an independent candidate and was elected a local councillor for the parish of St Mellion.
