THE sad news this morning is of the sudden death of the Chair of Governors of Lord Williams’s school in Thame.

Headteacher, David Wybron, said: “We received some very sad news yesterday morning that Ann Mayou, our Chair of Governors had died in her sleep. Ann was a quite brilliant Chair of Governors and when she spoke to staff on Monday we could all see how supportive and professional she was in her role as leader of the Governing Body.

“Ann had been a headteacher and she knew about schools, teachers and how young people work. Her wisdom and calmness were always evident and to spend time with her was always a pleasure. She struck the balance perfectly of asking the right questions whilst being our closest friend and champion. She had a lovely, warm personality.

“She will be deeply missed and our thoughts are now very much with Richard and her family at this very sad time.”
