Our Local Academy Council members
|
|
Louise Gayton Our chairman can be contacted via Eastgate Academy. I work in Local Government and have done so for over 10 years; within this, I am involved with the trade union. I live and work in King’s Lynn and so the community is very important to me, not least because I have two small children myself, one of whom attends Eastgate. I became an academy council member because I’m passionate about learning both in and out of school. |

Brian Elflett My background is varied as I have worked at the Lynn News and I am now back in the motor trade. This included running my own garage for a while. I was Chairman of the local branch of Diabetes UK which I gave up to become a Parent Governor as I wanted to do more with the school that my two children attend. I am the Link Governor for Health & Safety. |

Linda Hothersall I am the Principal at Eastgate Academy, having worked here for over five years. I have lived and worked in Norfolk for nearly twenty years in different primary schools both teaching and as a Deputy Head and a Headteacher. I believe strongly that we should provide the best opportunities that we can for all pupils who attend Eastgate and our Local Academy Council Body supports and challenges us in achieving this. |

Richard Brown From a background of secondary Headship and now educational consultancy, I joined the Eastgate Academy Council member Body in January 2017. Although the bulk of my career involved older students, I have always understood the importance of those primary years in education and am pleased to have an opportunity to make a contribution. |

Inga Ivanovska I’m privileged to be a Parent Academy Council member for our school and I would like to introduce myself: some know me as Inga, some as Kristaps ‘ mum. I’m a mother of three boys: my eldest attends Churchill Park Academy, my middle son is at Eastgate and my youngest is currently at nursery. |
 |
Deborah Hinks I joined the Eastern Multi-Academy Trust in January 2014 and am Clerk to the Trust Board of Directors and also Clerk to the Academy Council Bodies at two more of the Trust’s Academies (Nelson and Downham Market). I am a Business Management graduate and have three children, all of whom have come through the local state education system with considerable success and gone on to Further and Higher Education. I am keen to play a part in helping other local children to do the same. |
