Bio coming soon
Andrew Stiles
Co-opted Governor
I was born and raised in Exeter and have worked for over 40 years in various roles across the City up to my semi retirement, primarily in the areas of customer service, human resources, supply chain, change management and logistics.
I joined the Local Governing Body at Whipton Barton in June 2026 in the role of Chair of Governors.
I am also a school governor at St Lukes Church of England school in Exeter, a role that I have carried out for over 10 years.
I am a keen cyclist in my spare time and also support the Exeter City Community Trust as a race marshall for their various running events through the City as well as supporting the annual Great West Run in a similar role.
Louise Moretta
Headteacher/ Ex Officio
Louise is the Executive Headteacher of Whipton Barton Federation. She is an Ex Officio Member of the Local Governing Board.
Helen Earnshaw
Parent Governor
I currently work in HR as a systems lead managing system processes, looking for efficiencies and ensuring data integrity. I started my HR career in the education sector where my role required an understanding of safer recruitment in education.
Previously, I began my working career in sport as a head coach of a badminton junior performance centre in Exeter. For 3 years I coached the U15 England juniors which involved travelling to tournaments in Europe. Sport has been a huge part of my life and I have enjoyed working with lots of young children over the years and supporting their development.
As a parent governor I am excited to support the school and positively contribute to the school community to ensure everyone has an opportunity to learn and excel.
Holly Boulton
Staff Governor
My name is Holly Boulton and I have been a teacher at Whipton Barton since 2023. I am deeply passionate about equity in education, narrowing the disadvantage gap for pupils, and raising the quality of education through curriculum design and effective teaching practice. I sought the role of Staff Governor to ensure that the strategic decisions made by the board are firmly rooted in the best interests of our children and their education, bringing the lived experience of our classrooms to inform those choices at the highest level. I am fully committed to supporting Whipton Barton in its continued growth and success for every one of its students.
