John Whitgift Foundation has appointed a new Chief Financial Officer. Becky Allison, currently Director of Finance and Operations at Trinity School, moves to the Foundation in June 2026.
The John Whitgift Foundation runs two outstanding independent schools, Whitgift School and Trinity School, supported by one of the largest bursary schemes in the country. The Foundation cares for older people in Croydon through Whitgift Care.
Sharing news of Becky Allison’s appointment, Roisha Hughes, the Foundation’s CEO, said: “We are delighted Becky will be joining us as Chief Finance Officer in June. In a strong field, Becky’s leadership skills, dynamism and collaborative approach really shone through.
“In this role, Becky will be able to build on her excellent work at Trinity School and lead the wider Foundation in ensuring our financial approach puts us in the best possible position to deliver our priorities for the years ahead.”
As CFO, Becky Allison will be responsible for the Foundation’s financial health, strategy and performance. She has worked at Trinity School since 2024 and, prior to that, spent 15 years in the financial services (insurance) sector, working for companies including Deloitte, Prudential, WTW, and Aon.
Becky Allison said: “I have loved my time at Trinity School, but I am looking forward to new challenges and making a wider impact across the Foundation. I’ll be working with our leadership teams to ensure our 400+ year-old charity is in the best position for the future.
“I’m pleased that I can continue to be involved in Trinity’s move to becoming fully co-educational, having been involved in the planning over the last year, whilst also supporting the work of Whitgift School and Whitgift Care. It’s an exciting time for the Foundation and for me.”
Becky Allison’s appointment follows the retirement of Michael Webb, who has been the Foundation’s CFO since 2020.
