Sue Hampshire

Rye St Antony Governor

A nurse by profession, Sue worked as a Senior Resuscitation Officer within the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust for many years before leaving to take up a role within the Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK). Sue is now one of the Directors responsible for (amongst other things) guidelines, standards, and courses for resuscitation practice within the UK. Outside of work, Sue enjoys time with the family, walking, and knitting for her baby grandson.

Sue’s two daughters attended Rye, both starting at the same time, one in year 4 and one in year 7. Both thrived and enjoyed their years in school and have gone on to have successful lives and careers. Whilst they were in school Sue was a member of the Parents’ Committee and as a family, they all enjoyed the Rye community, especially the events and occasions when they could meet with other families and staff.

Carla Stanley

Rye St Antony Governor

Carla lives locally on an arable farm in Oxford and has worked as a Mediator for the Equalities and Human Rights Commission and more recently as a Lay Partner in the Regulation of Healthcare Professionals.

She was invited to become a Governor at Rye following a long absence of involvement in the school. Her three daughters attended Rye between 1997- 2010 and during that period Carla was Chair of the Rye Parents’ Committee for a number of years.

Having recently retired she now has the time to put her energies into being a Governor, a role she had previously held at a local Primary School. Carla has always believed in the Rye ethos of treating every girl as an individual and encouraging the development of her strengths

When not working, Carla can be found in her garden or on the water either sailing or helping to run racing.

Anup Mysoor

Rye St Antony Governor

Anup Mysoor was brought up in Mysuru, a city in the south of India. He cherishes memories and friendships from his time at Nirmala Convent School, where he studied until age 12 before transferring to St Joseph’s High School, as Nirmala’s high school was, like Rye, solely for girls.

Anup has a BCom from the University of Mysore (India), an MSc in Investment Analysis from the University of Stirling (Scotland) and an MBA from Manchester Business School (England) where he also used to be a Visiting Fellow.

Anup was a Managing Partner at Doric, an alternative investment manager with assets under management of $9Bn. He co-founded Ishka, an aviation services start-up based in London. Anup was with Citibank for 21 years in London and Hong Kong as Managing Director and Asia Head of Aviation, Power & Utilities investment banking. He started his career in 1990 in the mergers and acquisitions team of an infrastructure company.

Anup founded the Pink Rainbow Scholarships for underprivileged women and LGBTQ+ candidates from India to attend advanced programmes at world-class universities.

Anup is a member of Oxfam’s Board for Enterprise Development, providing social impact capital to entrepreneurs to build businesses where one of the primary objectives is women’s economic empowerment. He is also a Governor at Oxford Brookes University.

Anup and his wife, Poorna, are feminists, who both changed their surnames to Mysoor after they got married in 2001.
