Richard Woff - Co-Opted Governor
I have been a Co-Opted Governor for six years and have lived in Crouch End for forty. I became Chair of Governors in September, 2019, and, as Chair, my role is to work in partnership with the Headteacher to drive school improvement and to lead the work of the Governing Body and its committees. I spent my working life in education as a teacher, lecturer and, most recently, as Head of Schools and Young Audiences in a major national museum. I have two daughters, one of whom is a primary school teacher. Books, opera and theatre, galleries and museums, writing, volunteering, tai chi and box sets all help fill my retirement.
Leanne Hoffman - Co-Opted Governor
I am a Co-opted Governor and Vice Chair of the Governing Body, since September 2019. This is my seventh year as a Governor, having recently completed a term as Parent Governor, and I live locally and have one child at the school. I am a psychotherapist, working in private practice and a freelance coach and trainer. I have also worked in HR, so my work as Vice Chair of the People and Resources committee is a good home for me. In my spare time I like running, cycling, reading, cooking and eating.
