Parents

 Rohit Karwal

I joined the governing body at St Francis as a parent governor in September 2018 and am the finance link governor. I sit on the resources committee and my son currently attends the school. I have lived in the local area for over 25 years, with close ties to the school having also previously attended as a child. I currently work within financial services and have joined the governing body to support the school in any way I can and give back to the school and the local community that I have been a part of for many years.

Steven Richards

Steven Richards

My name is Steven Richards and I am an associate governor, having formerly been a parent governor. I am the Software Validation Manager of a clinical trials unit working in Churchill Hospital.

Annie Radl

My name is Annie Radl and I am honoured to be serving St Francis as a parent governor. My daughter attends St Francis and my younger son will too. I am the 'literacy link' governor - a perfect role for someone who loves to read and write as much as I do. I have spent my career in the charity sector, helping people come together to make positive change. I hope I can draw on these experiences to support our school and our community be everything it can be!

Rita Cabrita

Hello, my name is Rita Cabrita and I am originally from Portugal. I have lived in Oxford since 2002 and I currently live in Temple Cowley with my husband and three children, one of which attends St Francis nursery. I am currently an associate governor, having been a parent governor between November 2016 and September 2018. I became interested in governance because I thought it would be useful to use my skills and experience drawn from my professional role as a Practice Manager at a local GP surgery. I believe those skills to be useful in helping St Francis CE Primary School to maintain its mission and values and achieve its targets of delivering a first class education to KS1 and KS2. In my spare time I  enjoy reading, walking and travelling to new places.
