Deon Boakye, Chair of the Floreat Wandsworth SSB

I believe that everyone deserves the right to a transformative education; Floreat Wandsworth's values resonate with me.  My strong public sector background centres around my belief that when public service is done right it can really change people's lives.  I have lived in Wandsworth for 20 years and have built strong community realtionships.  Both of my children attend Floreat Wandsworth.  I work in the learning and teaching sector as a director of marketing and communication and I believe I have many vital skills to bring to the role.  It is the perfect opportunity to make a difference.

Fiona Campbell, Parent Governor

I have often worked with young science ambassadors and they usually credit a fantastic school experience with lighting their spark for science or engineering and setting them on a rewarding career path.   This has given me a strong interest in education and how my son and all children can receive the investment in their character and life skills, reach their academic potential and understand the world of opportunity and how to access it.   At work, I oversee our work with schools to bring science to life as well as our external stakeholder engagement, and ensuring that the organisation models a sustainable way of operating. I am keen to bring this experience to the team of governors at Floreat. 

Christina Husbands, Parent Governor

As a mother of 3, who all attended Floreat, I am pleased to be able to support the school not only as a parent but as a governor.

I am passionate and committed to diversity, equality and inclusion in both my personal and professional life. I believe that all children no matter their ability or background should have the best opportunity to succeed, in academics, creative arts and sport. Every child should have a happy, balanced, and memorable experience throughout their time in education.

I look forward to supporting the school, its staff and the senior leadership Team in continuing the great work and successes achieved to date for the benefit of our children.

Zoë Jensen, Community Governor

I am a local working mum of two, passionate about enhancing social mobility. I have been living in Earlsfield since Floreat opened its gates and my children both attend local state schools. A disputes lawyer by profession, I am also involved in a number of initiatives aimed at improving social mobility and encouraging a more diverse representation of talent in the City and within the legal profession.  Our early life experiences play a fundamental role in shaping how we feel about ourselves and what we think we can achieve; primary schools have an important part to play in that.  Wandsworth has an incredibly strong sense of community and Floreat has an ambitious vision.  I will be working with the other governors to ensure every child at Floreat is able to pursue the opportunities they deserve.

Dharani Reddy, Community Governor

With my background in economics and policy, I want to be a part of changing the world for better, one step at a time. I strongly believe in a gender-equal society and a provision of quality education for all. Working as a school governor at Floreat Wandsworth is one step towards making that difference. I wish to use the skills and professional experiences that I've built over the years to give back to the community. I trust that schools play a great role in a child's personal development and help carve a path for themselves. My school has definitely played a pivotal role in my life and has helped me become the person I am today. I am therefore motivated to work with other members of the board to ensure that the children of Floreat Wandsworth flourish and thrive.

Gary Clifford, Community Governor

I was appointed as a Govenor in April 2024 and was delighted to join the Floreat team. Having previously worked as a primary school teacher, I am extremely passionate about the power of education and its ability to transform young lives. Floreat is an ambitious school which places itself at the heart of its community. I look forward to contributing towards its continued development and success and hope that my enthusiasm, knowledge, and experience will prove a positive and useful asset to the board. 

Natalie Vincent, Community Governor

As a parent and member of the local community, I relish the opportunity to make a positive impact on the next generation through education.My professional experience spans both primary and secondary education, and I have seen first hand, the difference an outstanding educational provision, pastoral support and enrichment opportunities can make to the life of a child.

A large part of my desire to join the board of governors was motivated by wanting to have a positive impact on the experiences that the children living in inner London receive during their educational journey. I believe that a supportive, inclusive, and nurturing school community, that celebrates the richness of its diversity, only enhances the cultural capital at a school's disposal, and vastly improves positive outcomes for all.
