Such a successful first half term back to school. I would like to
thank all the children, families and staff for an incredible half
term. It’s been a pleasure meeting the new parents and children
who have settled into Mulberry life, with lots of great learning
taking place too.

My name is Manuela Errigo and I am an Italian teacher. In Italy, I got my qualification and I started my career in education working as an educator / tutor in after schools and community centres located in deprived areas, cooperating with social services and schools. I have always worked with children with Special Educational Needs as well as mainstream children supporting them in their educational and social development.
Back then, I realised that a positive start of life for children was, and is, paramount for the future as well as positive role models that make a difference in choices, even though sometimes they have to find them outside the household.
When I came to London, I started to teach and decided that I wanted to work in areas where I could bring my experience trying to make a difference, helping children that needed it the most. When I came to Mulberry, I felt at home. I was able to fit easily into the school community and realised how the warmth of the staff reflected on the children and they benefited from the positive energy. I am working in the Provision for Autism and am so proud of the work that we do and the support we receive from Management. Children make progress every day thanks to the efforts of the members of staff.
Being a Staff Governor is an honour and grants me the responsibility to maintain the positive atmosphere that can help everyone (colleagues and children) to grow.
I was born, raised and educated in Tottenham, having resided in the area for 28 years now. I used to attend Bruce Grove Primary School, and after leaving school, in my teenage years I was an honorary member of their PTA often assisting at the many events organised. Since I can remember, I have always had a keen interest in working alongside youth and adolescence within an education setting. After I had my daughter, I decided to make these interests a reality and enrolled in the University of East London when she was 9 months old on the Education Studies course. I graduated in 2020 with 1st Class Honours and I am now embarking on a career within Counselling provisions; my long-term goal is to open my own counselling practice, tailored towards youth and adolescence from low socio-economic areas.
Alongside being a Parent Governor, I am also a part of the PTA at The Mulberry Primary School and you will often see me in the playground on Tuesday’s helping with the Felix Project, and at the various events that we have and will be holding. I am passionate about the elevation of The Mulberry Primary School and improving the schooling experience for the students and staff alike.

My name is Anita Gray I have been teaching for overs 20 years in Primary Schools in Inner City mainly in North London. I have vast teaching experience and have used this to good effect in a variety of roles within the primary education sector, such as School Governor, Phase Leader for Key stage 1 & Phase Leader for Lower Key stage 2, and also as an External Moderator for Key Stage 1 SATS for the borough of Haringey. I thoroughly enjoyed my role as a school Governor at the Mulberry Primary School, and now I am delighted to have been elected as an associate Governor for this school. It would be my pleasure to continue supporting BAME children and adults to ensure that a diverse curriculum is embedded and is a true reflection of the demographic area; to ensure that a broad, balanced and reflective curriculum is taught throughout the school. I am very passionate about teaching, and currently enjoy working with a year 2 class, and look forward seeing these young minds develop academically so that they can fulfil their potential not only in this school, but in their future education.

The Governing Body (GB) reaches its decisions using a voting system, and may delegate particular tasks to be decided, through a vote, to a sub-Committee. When Committees vote on matters, Associated Members may also vote providing the Full Governing Body has previously given them this right and have had this decision minuted. Associate Members may be excluded from any part of a Committee meeting should an item of business concern an individual member of staff or a pupil. In the event of a deadlock, the Chair of the Committee will have the casting vote. All decisions of the GB’s sub-Committees should be reported back to the GB at its meetings and recorded in the minutes.
