Governance

As part of the Inspire Partnership Academy Trust, the governing body has shared oversight of Rockliffe Manor, Woodhill and Foxfield primary schools. The details of our remit are set by the Trust board and are detailed in its Scheme of Delegation.

As a Governing Body, we are a strong and active cross section of people, with the objectives of providing a strategic view, ensuring accountability, and acting as a critical friend, through support and advice.

By providing an exciting curriculum within a caring and secure environment, we aim to ensure that each child can reach their full potential in every aspect of their development at Rockliffe Primary School

Ed Britton - Chair of Governors

Community governor appointed by governors

Safeguarding Link Governor

Term starts:24/1/2020  Term ends: 23/1/2024

Relevant business/pecuniary interests: None declared.

I have lived in South East London all my working life. I have enjoyed the great sense of community here and am pleased, by being a governor at the Inspire Partnership Greenwich Hub, to have the opportunity to be able to give something back to the community. I have been a governor at Woodhill since 2016, having previously been on the governing bodies of other local primary and secondary schools.

My own children, three daughters, are past school age now. But the memory of how important their first school was to each of them is still very much with me. I am determined to do all I can to help Woodhill give a great start to all the children that pass through our school.

I had a variety of jobs in the finance sector before stopping work in 2018. It’s great to be able to put my management experience and numeric skills to practical use to the benefit of the Inspire Partnership and our pupils

Michael Stanton - Community Governor

Community governor appointed by governors

Term starts:22/5/2023  Term ends: 21/05/2027

Relevant business/pecuniary interests: None declared.

I was appointed as a School Governor at Woodhilll in May 2019 and reappointed on 22nd May 2023. I am delighted to have the opportunity here at the Inspire Partnership Greenwich Hub to help develop excellent schools. I passionately believe that a well ran school benefits not only children but the community as a whole.

I worked as a teacher in Spain in 2010-2011, and worked with a number of wonderful teachers. I observed how well children and young adults responded to an inclusive environment, and saw how well effective teaching engages students. As such, education remains very close to my heart.

Originally from Devon, I moved to Woolwich in 2013, and have worked for the Bank of England since 2016. During my time at the Bank of England, I’ve looked closely at new banks’ applications – particularly in regards to their effective governance and senior manager appointments. My experience in assessing governance and effective senior management is something I hope will positively impact my role as Governor.
