Currently a pre-prep class teacher at a well-established independent school in North London, I also hold responsibilities as Head of Year and PSHEE lead. I also hold a masters in Educational Leadership from UCL (IoE).

I've been a Camden governor for 10 years, much of it at primary and now at CCFL and Acland Burghley School. I am the SEND link governor for both schools which reflects my particular interest in inclusion - as well as quality of teaching and learning. It's a privilege to be part of the team supporting CCFL.

A large part of my professional career was spent in the media. Over the past 10 years I have been pursuing my interest in education both as a governor and as the co-founder of Lifting Limits, a charity that works with primary schools to challenge gender stereotypes and promote gender equality.

I am parent to three children (all with SEN in mainstream provision) and love being out on the heath, in the Lido, cooking and being with family and friends.

My name is Evon Antwi. I started working at Haverstock school in 2006 as a teaching assistant.
