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.
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.
