Lisa Hillan (Chair of the Governing Body) |
I became a parent governor here in February 2013, chair of governors in September 2014, and a community governor in September 2018 after my son finished at Eggar’s. Before moving to England in 2007, I administered graduate-level legal training programmes at the University of San Diego, where I obtained by Doctor of Jurisprudence. Earlier in my career, I taught high school English in Illinois. In addition to various volunteer roles in the community, I’ve joined the staff of The King’s Arms, a youth charity based in Petersfield, to help bring a youth centre to Alton. |

I came into teaching a little later in life and have spent the last twenty two most enjoyable years as a teacher at Eggar’s School. During that period I have had a variety of roles and responsibilities including teacher of History (and a few other subjects), curriculum leader, progress leader, SENCo, designated teacher for looked after children, safeguarding lead and assistant headteacher. Not all simultaneously!I also have experience as a parent of a student at the school. My son attended Eggar’s from 2003 – 2008.I have now retired and I would still like to contribute to Eggar’s. I feel my experience could be useful to the governors, staff and parents. I do hope so. |

I have one daughter who is in Year 9 and we cannot speak highly enough of Eggar's. We chose the school due to its size and level of pastoral care that was on offer and have not been disappointed. I am a Children and Youth Development Officer for the United Reformed Churches of Wessex and also work associately for Governor Services in Hampshire as a trainer.I am passionate about Governance and have been a governor in Hampshire in various schools for over 23 years. I will be the development and training governor ensuring everyone has the knowledge and support they need to be effective and ensure that the school are supported well by robust governance. I will also be on the Curriculum, Students and Environment committee with a link to ensuring best outcomes for the most disadvantaged in our school.I look forward to being part of the team and adding support to our fabulous school community. |

I am a former student of the School (Class of ’83). I later studied accountancy (AAT and CIMA) whilst working locally for a number of companies in Alton and Farnham. During 10 years running the Finance and HR functions of a Surrey interior design company, I played a key role in the financial management of a 3 year residential project undertaken for the Royal Household in Windsor Great Park. In 2012 I joined Ditcham Park School and was promoted to the role of Bursar and Clerk to the Governors in early 2018. In my role I am responsible for all the non-teaching functions of the School. As Clerk I have significant experience of School governance, legal and compliance matters. I have always enjoyed volunteering, including 7 years as a Trustee of the School’s PTA, 5 years with the Guide Dogs for the Blind and 1 year for Brain Tumour Research. I am currently a school governor at Droxford Junior School.Although I now live in Waterlooville, I retain family connections with Alton and am delighted to serve as a School Governor at Eggar's |
