ANITA JOHNSON OBEAnita Johnson started her teaching career in 1987 at Stoke Newington School after she qualified as PE teacher from Bishop Otter College. She then moved after three years to Sedgehill School in Lewisham, a large multi-cultural school as a PE teacher and soon rose through the ranks by becoming firstly, Head of Girls PE and then the overall Curriculum Leader of PE. During her time there the school gained Sports Mark Gold and was named by Tony Blair as one of the three best schools for sport in the country.
Anita remained at Sedgehill School for twelve years and eventually moved to Upbury Art College in Gillingham, Medway. She joined the school as an Assistant Headteacher in charge of Standards at Key Stage 4. This school was in special measures at the time and within six months had been moved out of this category. Anita remained here for three and a half years and helped move the school’s GCSE results out of the underperformance category.
Anita then moved to Harris Peckham Academy as the Vice-Principal. The Peckham Academy was one of the first schools to become an Academy and Anita was one of the founding members of this. Her position was Standards and Delivery across the whole school including attainment, achievement, attendance, curriculum, timetabling and behaviour. The school’s results rose over the four years and Anita took over as the Acting Principal for a term during the illness of the Principal.
Anita began her own Headship in January 2008 at Loxford School which is a thriving multicultural school and has maintained its outstanding position. The results at GCSE have improved steadily as have the A Level results.
The Ofsted Report described Anita as “the driving force behind the school’s success. Her clear vision and high ambitions for pupils and staff are supported by a highly effective Senior Team and a well-led and challenging Governing Body.”
Anita’s educational philosophy is based around traditional standards of education and a ‘Stage not Age’ approach to achievement and attainment.
Anita is The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of The Loxford School Trust which currently consists of seven schools – Loxford School, The Warren School, Tabor Academy, Abbs Cross Academy and Arts College, Aldborough Primary School, Gaynes School and CECIL JONES ACADEMY; She is also the Headteacher of Loxford All-Through School.
Anita is married with two children, lives in Kent and her greatest pastimes are netball and shopping.
Anita was awarded the OBE for Services to Education in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2020.

ABU TOKII have worked in primary schools across various boroughs in London. My first senior leadership role was in 2017, in a inner London school. I then joined The Loxford Trust in 2019 as an Assistant Headteacher. Following this, in 2022, I was appointed as Deputy Headteacher across both Loxford and Aldborough Primary School, with a specific focus on Quality of Education. I am now the Headteacher of Aldborough Primary School- a role which I feel privileged to have. This role allows me to build resilient pupils who become life long learners. |
CHAIR – ALDBOROUGH PRIMARY SCHOOL COMMITTEE |

Sanjay PatelI have been a committee member at Aldborough Primary for about 5 years and have recently been appointed to Chair. I have lived in Redbridge for 28 years. I have had 3 children attend Aldborough, 2 of whom are now in secondary school and 1 still at Aldborough Primary. My aim is to ensure that our children get the best education, that the staff are supported in achieving the best potential within all the children, and also make them feel safe and secure. |

I am an effective leader who has the ability to build relationships on a multidisciplinary level. I have good listening skills, am able to express my views and opinions and am comfortable in the role of a facilitator to support resolution or achieve a common goal.

ACADEMY COMMITTEE MEMBER (PARENT) – ALDBOROUGH PRIMARY SCHOOL |
---|
SHAISTA KHANI am a mother of 3 daughters and 1 son, who all attend Aldborough Primary School. From the time when my eldest, who is now 11 years of age, started school I have been fascinated by how the school teaching together with the environment has a positive impact. In particular, the way it has been designed and refined to teach as well as stimulate a child from the very start. After spending many years as a full-time mother, I am hoping to work within a school organisation as a teaching assistant, as this is where my interest lies. Previously I worked within administrative roles for different organisations, including a fostering agency where I was team administrator. I will appreciate and value the chance to experience the role of Parent Governor, as I feel this role will give myself a better understanding of how Aldborough Primary School functions and the current issues being worked on. I hope I am given this opportunity to play a more active role within Aldborough Primary and be able to give back to the school community! |

Toni BurtonI am a mum to two daughters. My eldest daughter is currently in year 9 at Cecil Jones and my youngest has started year 7 this academic year. Over the past two years, I have watched my once extremely shy daughter, who hated reading, blossom into the most confident and hard working girl. She has read more books than we ever thought possible and even enjoys it! Although I like to take some of the credit for this, I really believe that the support and encouragement she receives from the school and her teachers has helped to make this happen. I hope as a committee member I can do my part to help the school to continue to thrive, and to support them and the students as much as I can. |

It's absolutely vital to me and something I hold quite dear that our students must get the very best out of their educational experience here. In my spare time, I love to travel and immerse myself in different cultures around the world - something I love imparting on our students.

ANITA JOHNSON OBEAnita Johnson started her teaching career in 1987 at Stoke Newington School after she qualified as PE teacher from Bishop Otter College. She then moved after three years to Sedgehill School in Lewisham, a large multi-cultural school as a PE teacher and soon rose through the ranks by becoming firstly, Head of Girls PE and then the overall Curriculum Leader of PE. During her time there the school gained Sports Mark Gold and was named by Tony Blair as one of the three best schools for sport in the country.
Anita remained at Sedgehill School for twelve years and eventually moved to Upbury Art College in Gillingham, Medway. She joined the school as an Assistant Headteacher in charge of Standards at Key Stage 4. This school was in special measures at the time and within six months had been moved out of this category. Anita remained here for three and a half years and helped move the school’s GCSE results out of the underperformance category.
Anita then moved to Harris Peckham Academy as the Vice-Principal. The Peckham Academy was one of the first schools to become an Academy and Anita was one of the founding members of this. Her position was Standards and Delivery across the whole school including attainment, achievement, attendance, curriculum, timetabling and behaviour. The school’s results rose over the four years and Anita took over as the Acting Principal for a term during the illness of the Principal.
Anita began her own Headship in January 2008 at Loxford School which is a thriving multicultural school and has maintained its outstanding position. The results at GCSE have improved steadily as have the A Level results.
The Ofsted Report described Anita as “the driving force behind the school’s success. Her clear vision and high ambitions for pupils and staff are supported by a highly effective Senior Team and a well-led and challenging Governing Body.”
Anita’s educational philosophy is based around traditional standards of education and a ‘Stage not Age’ approach to achievement and attainment.
Anita is The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of The Loxford School Trust which currently consists of seven schools – Loxford School, The Warren School, Tabor Academy, Abbs Cross Academy and Arts College, Aldborough Primary School, Gaynes School and CECIL JONES ACADEMY; She is also the Headteacher of Loxford All-Through School.

My experience and positions affords me the opportunity to build relationships with all staff in a large school and thus would help me to contribute positively to The Warren School Academy Committee. My enthusiasm and commitment to gather feedback from colleagues as well as my own understanding of the staff experience puts me in a good position to contribute to the development and wellbeing of our school community. |
