“Ruth has been involved with the school for seven years, the last four years as a Governor and has been a great supporter and friend to the School. More recently as Chair she ensured that the governing body was well equipped to deal with the ever increasing challenges of strategic school governance.
“She leaves the governing body in an excellent position to proceed with a balanced mix of skills and experience.
“Ruth is stepping down to give her full attention to her professional career as an employment lawyer and to spend time with her family, who have been extremely patient and supportive during the last few years. We wish her Hatzlacha Raba and we are sure that she will continue to support the school in the future.”
Mrs Renton was elected a JFS parent governor in April 2014 and subsequently became a foundation governor in March 2015.
She is an employment solicitor at Artington Legal with over 20 years’ experience.
JFS said that until the next set of governor elections, the current vice chair, Ms Geraldine Fainer, will step up to become acting chair.
