Governors, Members and Directors
The Bourne Education Trust
The Eaglewood School Local Governing Body
Mrs H McCartney – Chair of Governors
I have been a Governor of the school since Autumn 2021. Initially as a Parent Governor and more recently as Governor overseeing Staff Wellbeing and Workload. From an early age my daughter struggled in a mainstream education setting and has benefited from the nurturing environment of Alternative Provision schools since she was 5 years old. Her time at The Eaglewood School was instrumental in helping her grow and equipping her with the tools to succeed in Post-16 education.
Whilst my daughter has now left the school, I continue to share my time and experience in Human Resource Management to help the school evolve and achieve its mission of raising aspiration and changing lives.
Jane Coe – Governor
I work with children and their families alongside other professionals to achieve best outcomes at a time of need. My background is special educational needs and mental health within school setting, charity work and early help. I have knowledge and experience to support young people and their families during challenging times helping them to make positive change and build resilience. I also run Parenting Programs to support with change and help children who have experienced trauma with 1-1 intervention.
Eaglewood school is fortunate to be able to have a bespoke package for students in a smaller setting to mainstream schools helping students to build resiliency, break down barriers to learning and enable students to gain positive life skills to support their journey into adulthood – I share this passion.
Mrs C Whitlock – Staff Governor – Pupil Premium and LAC
My name is Claire Whitlock and I have had the privilege of being a teacher of Eaglewood School since 2016. After spending over twenty years in education, I still feel passionate about making a difference. I am a Mum of two teenagers and understand the daily challenges of parenting. Together with a team of amazing and creative teachers, I am committed to providing our pupils with a nurturing and developmentally sound foundation for a lifetime of learning.
I am Lead Key Stage Two teacher with a whole school responsibility for Assessment and Reporting; assessing pupils’ Academic Development (IQ) and Social and Emotional development (EQ), whilst reporting their achievements to parents/carers and home schools. At Eaglewood, I know that our pupils need an extra helping hand to guide them and I strive to create and maintain an environment where they can grow and thrive to become balanced individuals… better versions of themselves!
