Carly Riddoch

Governor - Co-opted - Link gov Curriculum overview

I am a primary school teacher who trained in Australia. I have had experience working in a number of schools in roles that include classroom teaching, performing arts coordinator, sports coach, mental health team member and head of Science. I made the move to London in 2017 for a new challenge and am currently working as a Key Stage 1 teacher in an independent prep school in the South East. Being encouraged to take on a governor role by my head teacher, I am keen to broaden my experience in different school settings and be able to share my expertise as well as offer my support to the Haseltine and Fairlawn federation to help these schools continue to thrive.

Christopher Weeks

Co-Opted Governor

I’m Chris Weeks, an associate member of the Resources Committee. I’ve been working in communications for an international children’s charity for the past ten years, based in the Middle East and Asia for some of that time, before returning to London two years ago. As an adoptive parent, I’m passionate about creating an environment where all children, no matter what their background or start in life, can achieve their full potential.

Lucy Radich

Governor - Co-opted - Link gov Training

I am a local parent who wanted to get involved in the overall running of the school my children attend. I wanted to understand the challenges facing the teachers, how the schools are inclusive to all, how pupils with special needs have these met, how community can support the school and what I can do, both as a parent and a professional, to support the school.

Leanne Cowley

Governor - Co-opted - Link gov Literacy and Early Years

I have been a class teacher for seven years. This is my 4th year at Fairlawn. Having taught in both Key Stages I am currently a Year 4 teacher. I am also part of the Senior Leadership Team, the Lower Key Stage 2 phase leader and maths lead for the whole school. I have completed an intensive one year training programme and am now a designated Maths Mastery Specialist Teacher for the South East London Maths Hub. I am supporting seven SE London schools on their maths mastery journey. Last year I was designated as a Specialist Leader of Education and have completed my core training. Together with Haseltine’s maths lead, I have planned and delivered staff meetings and INSET across both schools. As staff governor, I look forward to further developing my relationship with both school communities and I am committed to supporting all children with their learning.

Yvette Moore

Parent Governor - Link gov Diversity and Inclusion

Helen Manley

Link Governor for Community Engagement and Communications

I am a qualified Chartered Accountant working in the media for over 20 years initially in accounting and production management then for 10 years at Board level overseeing Finance, HR, Legal, Health & Safety, IT, Facilities and Operations. I have set up a consultancy specialising in troubleshooting struggling organisations and facilitating growth. More recently my social conscience has kicked in and I have taken a Higher Education Certificate in Health and Social Care, become a Trustee of a neonatal baby charity and my day job is now as Head of Finance and Operations and Safeguarding Lead for a child refugee charity. I have grass roots and continued involvement in the PTA and Parent Forum at Fairlawn; both groups are committed to enriching children’s education and relations between parents and teachers. In my capacity as Link Governor for Community Engagement and Communications I hope to explore those relationships and goals further with both Haseltine and Fairlawn. I understand my role of governor is to to supportively challenge the Federation’s Management team to ensure they are the best they can be.

Anna Croall

Governor - Co-opted - Link gov inclusion / SEND

I am a co-opted Governor for the Fairlawn and Haseltine Federation. I am currently a strategy advisor at the Crown Prosecution Service. I previously worked in communications and policy for the Department for Education in areas including school food, equalities , primary assessment, apprenticeships and SEND. Prior to this I worked as a production journalist and sub-editor on both national and regional newspapers. Outside of my day job I have worked with a number of community projects in education, including teaching English as a second language to children in Cambridge, computer tutoring for the elderly, a literacy project in Hackney and most recently working as a voluntary tutor for bright A-level students from disadvantaged backgrounds, to support their university aims.

Michelle Rosemond

Governor - Co-opted - Link gov Early Years - Link gov Inclusion / SEND (for 2020/21) safeguarding / LAC / attendance - Link gov Teaching school

I became a governor in the Summer of 2017 because I am keen to support a school in my local community. I live in Lewisham and have three boys across the primary age range. Professionally, I have been in the Education Sector for 15 years and have had a number of different roles in Primary Education. I am currently the Head teacher of a large primary academy in a neighbouring London borough so know first-hand that Governors play an important role in the school, exercising their powers and responsibilities in partnership with school leadership and staff. Although they are not involved in the day-to-day management of the school, they play a large role in planning for the school’s future at a strategic level. Governors act as a critical friend to the school, offering support and advice; ensuring the school improvement agenda is high and heading in the right direction. The Fairlawn and Haseltine Federation has a strong and active team of governors who bring a range of skills and expertise that is valuable in making the two schools such great places to educate your children.
