​​Paul Griffiths (Co-Chair)

I am an IT consulting Director, focused primarily on the public sector, bringing a wealth of experience in deploying technology solutions into large Government organisations.  As part of this role I am required to keep abreast of new legislation such as GDPR and understand what this means to the different organisations with whom I work, both from a technology and business process perspective.

 

I have 2 children have been through Alwyn and Courthouse.  I joined the Governing body in 2019 and have enjoyed working with the Leadership team in both the schools since then.

 

One of the perspectives I am looking to bring to the Governing Body, is an understanding of the knowledge and experiences the children will require as they progress into later schools.  We must ensure that they benefit fully from the Alwyn and Courthouse experience, becoming rounded individuals, fulfilling their full potentials.

Eduard Woltjer (Co-Chair)

My wife Kirsty and I have lived in Maidenhead for over 13 years. We have a daughter at Courthouse and a son who will hopefully join Courthouse in the near future.

​

Given that the school plays such a central role within our community, I put myself forward for a governor position when a vacancy arose. The hope is, that in my own way, I can make a positive contribution to the school and create an environment in which all children can excel.

​

I believe that my role as an EMEA HR Manager provides the relevant experience and skill set to assist with this.

​

Emma Keen (Vice Chair)

I am a Finance Director with over 20 years experience in Finance and Commercial roles across both the private and public sectors.  I applied for the role of Finance Governor so I could give back to the schools that my son has been very happy at for many years.  He is currently at Courthouse.

Education has always been a big part of my family life, with my mum and both my sisters working as teachers in Primary schools so I am passionate about making sure our children and teachers have the support they need. I look forward to bringing my experience and expertise to the Governing Board to help with this.

I have lived in Maidenhead for over 25 years and went to school at Furze Platt senior school so I know the local area well! Outside work you will find me spending time with my family and walking our lively spaniel Luna. I also enjoy karate and going for the occasional gym class!

I am the Headteacher at Wexham Court Primary School in Slough. I have had the pleasure of seeing our children thrive and grow for a number of years. We understand that we ALL play a special part in our children’s development and as a school community we work well together in doing so. With that being said, last year I was awarded the Pearson Headteacher of the Year Award. This was such a heart-warming surprise!

Alongside working at Wexham Court Primary, I also support local schools on their journey of improvement by providing Leadership Training. I am also part of key groups such as:

• School Forum

• School Education Partnership Board

• Primary Headteacher’s Core Group

​​

After a long time, I feel that education is at a point of interest and I feel highly motivated by it. The content and information being shared with Teachers and Leaders is great and I love being part of it. I was keen to see how the Governing Body runs at Alwyn and Courthouse and to also support where I can.

Personally, I enjoy sports, going to the cinema/theatre and taking long walks along the countryside.

Siobhan Tarbuck

I am a local GP so I am passionate about our community. I initially joined the PTA when my youngest was in reception as I was keen to get involved in some way to help the schools. I have a child in each school. When the two schools joined as a federation, I decided 2021 was a great time to join the board of governors.

Outside of work, I enjoy exercise, reading, family trips and eating out with friends. In my work as a GP the impact of mental health and well-being is so apparent, especially since the pandemic. I’m hoping that this experience and focus will be a great skill set for future decisions as a governing board.

Rachel Allman

With a son in Alwyn and a daughter in Courthouse, it was important to me to become more involved with the school community and contribute to building on the Federation’s success for our children and staff.
We are part of a great school. I’m especially interested in continuing to develop the strong culture; the feeling of belonging, focus on wellbeing and community that’s so important in enabling our kids to thrive. Academically of course, but in many other ways too. Creative thinking, problem-solving and emotional resilience are increasingly important in the world they are entering.
Professionally I’m experienced in setting strategic direction, pinpointing opportunities for improvement and gently but effectively challenging to achieve constructive change. All of  which are important skills for this role.
Outside of family and work life, I enjoy travel, yoga, reading and good food!
