Welcome to two new Governors

We are delighted to announce that we have two new members, Mrs Ros Broyd and Ms Nailah Fraser-Haynes, joining our School Governing Board.

Mrs Ros Broyd

Mrs Broyd’s links with Croydon High School span more than 50 years. Moving to the Croydon area at the age of 14, she became a pupil in the Senior School. Many years later her own daughter attended the school from Nursery to the Sixth Form and Mrs Broyd joined the teaching staff where she shared her passion and skills in Drama for 19 years.

Mrs Broyd holds a Bachelor of Education degree from Newnham College, Cambridge and has wide experience of teaching in primary and secondary schools in both the public and independent sectors. A class teacher in the initial years of her career, she discovered that her greatest passion lay in sharing her skills and expertise as a Drama specialist and she developed a rich programme of study in the Junior School. She has directed and made costumes and props for countless productions during her career at Croydon High as well as being involved in external amateur companies and youth theatre groups.

Preparing pupils for LAMDA examinations has been an important part of Mrs Broyd’s work at Croydon High over the years. Many have developed their confidence in public speaking though these classes and have achieved exceptional results in a variety of disciplines.

Retiring from the staff of Croydon High in 2022, it is with complete commitment to the school that Mrs Broyd is looking forward to the transition of her role from pupil, to parent, to teacher and now to a member of the Governing Body.

Ms Nailah Fraser-Haynes

Ms Fraser-Haynes is a Senior Partnerships and Knowledge Exchange Manager at the Rail Safety and Standards Board, an independent safety, standards, and research body for the GB rail network. She is also a champion for Health and Wellbeing at work.

She has over 10 years’ experience in relationship management, brand development, and strategic partnerships, including planning and strategy development for collaborative partnerships and networks.

Passionate about communication, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Language from King’s College London, and in her spare time enjoys reading, reviewing, and blogging about books.

As an alumna, Ms Fraser-Haynes has lived the Croydon High experience first-hand, and still has fond memories of her time in the Senior School. She looks forward to continuing to support its mission in this role as a Governor, to empower girls and young women, and encourage learning without limits.
