Governors
Our Governing Body is proud to oversee the strategic direction of Fairlawn and Haseltine schools, working hard to support the children, headteachers and staff. Our present membership team is made up of parents, volunteers from the local community and members of staff who each bring enthusiasm, experience and expertise.
We are there to act as a supportive but critical voice, offering advice and guidance to ensure our schools continue to thrive. We play a key role in making sure our schools have the following aims :
- To teach the key objectives of the national curriculum.
- To report national curriculum results to parents.
- To have clear aims and objectives, including a strategic vision for the federation.
- To set ambitious performance targets.
- To plan the repairs and maintenance of the school buildings
- To manage the school’s budgets.

Ros Tuerk
I am a co-opted governor and a parent of two children of primary school age at the schools. I am also a social worker and have worked in various clinical and managerial roles for a local mental health Trust over the past 10 years. My current role includes managing staff as well as overseeing all of the operational functions of our teams and ensuring we abide by legal and best practice guidance. My particular passion is around service improvement and ensuring equality of access to people from all groups across the boroughs that my Trust serves. I feel that this matches up well with the school governor role and hope that I can contribute to creating the best possible environment for young people from all backgrounds to learn and develop.

Helen Branch
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.
