Colin Black, Chair of Governors
Science Link Governor
[email protected]
I have worked in education for the past 21 years in a variety of roles. I have been a governor at Girton Glebe for 6 years and became Chair of Governors in 2021. My focus as Chair of Governors is to work with the Trust and other governors to ensure that the experience and education provided at Girton Glebe is delivered to the highest standards and to the benefit of all pupils.
Margaret Bird
I have worked as a director of human resources in both higher education and the NHS. I have lived in Girton since 2002, although I have worked away from Cambridge for almost as of the time. I have recently stopped working permanently and as well as chairing the governing body in a large maintained primary school in Surrey, I am looking forward to engaging with my local community here in Girton and there is no better way than to support the local primary school.
Nigel Howlett, Co-Opted Governor
Staff Wellbeing Link Governor
[email protected]
I have worked in affordable housing in and around Cambridge for 30 years. Until December 2022 I was Chief Executive of CHS Group, a social investment agency and housing association which provided a wide range of services across Cambridgeshire from affordable housing to end of life care for older people.
I have lived in Girton for more than 20 years; all my children have been to Girton Glebe although all have moved on to IVC or beyond. I have been a governor for more than 10 years including chairing the Personnel Committee before we joined what is now TELA. Beyond my family and work I enjoy gardening and am interested in the weather.

Amy Weatherup, ELA Trustee
Amy has been a school governor for more than 10 years, including 7 years as Chair of Governors at Swaffham Bulbeck Church of England Primary School, and 7 years as founding Trustee and Chair of the Education Committee at the University of Cambridge Primary School (both rated as Outstanding schools). She has also been a National Leader of Governance for 4 years, working directly with schools in difficult circumstances. Amy studied Mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge, and then co-founded her first software start-up. STNC was the first company to put web browsers onto mobile phones and was ultimately acquired by Microsoft in 1999.
More recently Amy set up and runs the i-Teams programme at the University of Cambridge which has resulted in over 90 technology-based startups so far. Current Board roles include Audio Analytic Ltd., the world leader in sound recognition, and the Cambridge Science Centre, which aims to inspire every child with science.
