RPS & DKH Schools Federation
The separate governing bodies of Rotherhithe Primary (RPS) and Dog Kennel Hill Primary (DKH) agreed in December 2017 that the two schools would become a federation. The result of this was that, in January 2018, the two schools – under the executive headship of Mrs Galiema Amien-Cloete – formed one joint governing body and agreed to call itself the River Hill Federation. Both schools have kept their separate names and identities, and each has a head of school, but they work in partnership to share resources and best practice to give all the children the best possible start in their educational life.
The role of the River Hill Federation governing body, like all school governing bodies, is to ensure that both schools deliver high standards of achievement within a broad and balanced curriculum for every child.
