I am a Councillor and have been part of the school since 1984, holding both Chair and Vice Chair. My son and grandson both attended and enjoyed a wonderful start in their education. As part of a parents' action group, I stopped the then Council from closing and pulling down the school. I am fully committed to the education of children from all groups in our community and their family involvement.

Olamide was born and bred in Newham. She can attest to the changes that have occurred at Edith Kerrison Nursery School through her  lived experience as a former student in the early 80's and the mother of a 3 year old girl who currently attends the school. To the role of Governor, she brings her expertise as a Barrister and her experience as a former trustee of a housing  charity.

I have been the  Head Teacher of the school and children's centre since September 2017 and provide information to the Governors about strategic direction and effectiveness.  Although I was born and raised in another part of the country, I have spent the whole of my teaching career in Newham.
I fell in love with the vibrancy of the borough during my teaching practice through the Urban Learning Foundation as a student and have remained ever since. I believe the child is at the heart of everything we do.
