Meet The Governors

Ms Carmel Howard  Chair of Governors

Mrs Anne Magennis

I have been a governor at our school since my own children attended St Edmund's and St Thomas'. Initially my role was as a parent governor and I am now a foundation governor. I work in the NHS as a consultant surgeon with a particular interest in education and training. I feel I bring many skills from my main occupation to the very important job of school governance. I enjoy being part of our school and parish community and work hard to maintain high standards of education for our children.
