Meet the Governors
Miranda Sawyer
Chair Of Governors
Parent Governor - Chair Of Governors
I was elected as Parent Governor in 2014 and became Chair of Governors in 2019; I've been the Link Governor for Early Years and Computing since 2014. Both my children attended Corpus Christi from nursery onwards, and one is still a pupil. I've been a freelance journalist for over 30 years, working mostly for The Observer and the BBC: this means I'm happy to ask awkward questions if needed! I'm also a trustee of the South London Gallery and my personal interests include computer coding for children, all of the creative arts and sport.

Andrew Godfrey
Foundation Governor - Chair of The Resources Committee
I first attended Corpus Christi Church on Christmas Day 2005 and have been a member of the parish ever since. My three children have all been to the school and I was glad to be able to give something back and become a Foundation Governor in 2018. I am chair of the resources committee. I am a solicitor. My work includes elements of advising on the role of trustees, analysing financial accounts, and working with charities, all of which I hope will prove useful in acting as a Governor. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, walking and gardening.
Nikki Hunt
Foundation Governor
I was appointed foundation Governor in 2021 and Vice Chair in 2024. I have been incredibly lucky to receive unparallelled support as a Corpus Christi parent. My eldest son joined in nursery, and is now in year 10 at BTG. My youngest son is profoundly disabled, and is often in hospital. The care and empathy shown by Corpus Christi at our most vulnerable times as a family has led me to provide support to this outstanding school, with emphasis on SEND. With a previous background in finance and administration, I currently provide secretarial and welfare support to a local successful grassroots football and boxing charity, and have recently formed a new club for this season.

Peter Ward
Parent Governor
I have been a Corpus Christi parishioner since 2013 and live in Brixton with my wife and three daughters. The two older girls are currently at the school, which they absolutely love, and we plan for the youngest to attend from nursery onwards. I work as a commercial lawyer and have experience across many business sectors, including with early years childcare companies. Outside of work I am a keen tennis and football player and enjoy cooking. My family also tell me I'm a wine bore.
Ameenah Ayub Allen
Parent Governor
I was elected as a Parent Governor in 2023. My daughter has attended Corpus Christi from reception and is currently in the juniors and I also have a baby son. I'm a BAFTA nominated and British Independent Film Award winning film producer and have worked as a freelancer in the British Film industry for 20 years. My work includes critically acclaimed ROCKS (starring first time child actors from London) and ALI & AVA. I sit on the Film Skills Council and have worked as a consultant for Film London and on selection panels including the National Film and Television School, as well as guest lecturing at a number of leading universities. My academic background is in Film and Theatre and I am passionate about both the importance of arts and culture in education and diversity and inclusion within this.
Chris Rodger
Foundation Governor
I have lived in Brixton since 2004, and both my children were born here. They attended Corpus Christi, all the way from nursery though to Year 6, and both benefitted enormously from their time at the school. I am pleased and honoured to have been appointed a Foundation Governor, and I hope to be able to play a part in ensuring that future generations of children continue to enjoy the high-quality education provided by Corpus. Professionally, I bring experience of management and finance from working in property and real estate in the commercial world, and also the public sector.
