The Advisory Board consists of parent, staff, and community representatives; the Principal is a member of the Advisory Board by virtue of their office.
Community Members are appointed by the Advisory Board and are people, who are in the opinion of the Advisory Board, have the skills required to contribute to the work of the board. Parent and staff members are elected to the board by the parent and staff body respectively.

Safeguarding Member
Firstly, and most importantly, I am a parent of a student at Egham Park School. I have 4 neurodivergent children, so I understand the positives and the challenges that come as a part of this.
Professionally, I work within a primary school as a home school link worker, mental health lead, safeguarding lead, and ELSA. I am currently completing my National Award for Send Coordination in the hope of becoming a Senco. My background was originally as a secondary school teacher, but for the past 15 years, I have worked in more of a family/pupil support role.
