School Governors

Shola Salako

Chair of the Local Governing Board and Safeguarding Link Governor

I became interested in education when I was co-opted onto a parent staff committee at my daughter's school.  She has since left school and as I wanted to continue my involvement I applied to be a local authority governor.  I was accepted and have been a governor at Rosendale Primary School since that time.   The role remains interesting and absorbing.  I hope to be given the opportunity to continue to be of service to Rosendale and provide a valuable contribution. 

Term of office: September 2021 - September 2025*

Caroline Gray

Vice-Chair of Local Governing Board and SEND Link Governor

I currently work in a General Practice in Vauxhall and for a Mental Health project for the Clinical Commissioning Group.  Whilst my background is not in education, I do have a real understanding of life in Lambeth having lived and worked here for over 16 years.  I hope that the skills I bring coupled with my enthusiasm and commitment will allow me to make a real contribution to the school and its community. 

Term of office: November 2021 - October 2025*

Nana has been a governor at Rosendale since 2023. She has a background in the Public Sector.  Nana believes the role of a governor is a useful way of giving something back to the community in which she lives and serves.  Being a school governor offers Nana the opportunity to get involved in the different areas of the school, including school initiatives, strategic and operational transformation plans of schools. Nana has a keen interest in securing the best experiences and outcomes for all children and young people and wants to use her lived experience and skills to make a difference in her local community.  Nana sees her role as a positive privilege where she can make a meaningful contribution to the community.

Lulu Luckock

I have been a primary school teacher for over 35 years, teaching in England, Portugal and Spain.  As a teacher the social and emotional wellbeing of the pupils in my care was always at the heart of my teaching practice and so when I stepped out of the classroom 10 years ago I trained to be a specilalist in Social and Emotional learning. My belief is that a solid primary school education is a life long gift that can never be taken away.  I aim to support Rosendale in its continued effort to give all its pupils the best community, and all round education that it possibly can.
