Meet The Governors

Mrs Sue Kendall Chair of Governors

I have been a Foundation Governor since September 2012 and live in the Parish of St. Edmund where I serve as a Parish Catechist.I have three grown up children all former pupils of St Edmund and St.Thomas' school where I attended as a pupil as did my late husband Paul. I hope to serve the Parish families as a Governor and to support the work of our Headteacher and Staff in ensuring our children have the best opportunities through a first class education.

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.

Mrs Julie Doran

I have been a member of the governing body of St Edmund’s and St Thomas' for approximately 20 years. Both my children attended this primary school and now my grandchildren are here. I am an active member of our parish church of St Edmund’s and I am at present working in Sacred Heart as a Teaching Assistant.
