Our Local Academy Council members

	Richard Brown - Chairperson Trust Appointed 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.
	Linda Hothersall Principal 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.
	Louise Gayton Trust-appointed Academy Council member 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.
	Peter Young - Parent Governor
	Guy Pyle - Trust Appointed
	Bridget Hart - Trust Appointed

	Penny Folkard Clerk to Academy Council
