Our Governors

Mrs Alison Derek

Chair of Governors and RE and Catholic Life Governor - Foundation Governor

Term 24.01.2020 - 23.01.2024
Responsibility - RE and Catholic Life Governor
Attendance 2022-2023 : 2/2

I’m very passionate about education having spent almost 4 decades in various teaching roles in several Primary Schools - most being in Devon- and after retiring from Keyham Barton, I decided to become a governor. Alongside this, for many years, I have been part of the Food for Thought School Linking Programme which links rural Primary Schools in Uganda with Primary Schools in Devon and Cornwall. As you may know our link school is Kikandwa which I have visited a few times and I have been part of the Afripad project which is now fully embedded at Keyham.
I live just outside Ivybridge where our three children have grown up and now take great pleasure in looking after our two grandchildren who also live in Ivybridge.

Mrs Tina Tuohy

Vice Chair - Foundation Governor

Term 22.05.2018 - 22.05.2026
Attendance 2022-2023 : 1/2
Registered interests:

I came to Plymouth in 1970 and have lived in North Prospect for 40-odd years before moving when my house was demolished due to Regeneration. I have been a parishioner at Holy Redeemer all this time and my children and one grandchild also went to Keyham Barton School. I used to be a governor at the old North Prospect Primary School before it became the Mayflower Academy and found it very interesting and rewarding. I would have like to have joined Keyham Barton earlier but never managed to be available when one of the posts became free. On this occasion I jumped at the chance and while my children were at the school I had always enjoyed my visits and in particular the Nativity Plays and School Mass. I am on the Parish Council and a Eucharistic Minister. I used to teach archaeology at University of Exeter and now although retired I still do some teaching online. I am keen on gardening, wildlife and dog walking.

Miss Sarah Rowe

Headteacher

Term: 01.09.2023- 31.08.2025
Attendance: 1/2

I have been the Headteacher of Keyham Barton since September 2023, and from the moment I stepped into the playground I could feel that Keyham was a school with soul. I To be Headteacher of Keyham is an huge honour and an enormous responsibility.

I am a parent first and foremost, so I know what you ask of me every time your children step through our gates and I will do my utmost to make sure we meet the needs of each and every one of them. I have one child of my own who attends Secondary School.

I am here to support our children, families and staff. I have a strong faith and believe it has brought me here to learn as much as to lead. I am here to help, always, so please feel you can come and talk to me about any worries and concerns and we can work together to solve them.

I have 2 sons both of whom attend the school.
