Mr Collard has been a member of our Governing Board since 1993 – that is a lot of volunteering hours!
He has been of incredible value and support to the school throughout this time questioning, challenging and being fully strategic with his input.
Mr Collard sits on several of the committees; Resources & Management (that he also chair of), Pay & Performance, Standards & Achievement and Foundation Trustees.
 
“I have two sons who attended Enfield Grammar School and I have served as a Parent, Community and Foundation Governor since 1993.
I studied Physics at Birmingham University and worked in film and digital TV production.
I am interested in science, media education, and have also served as President of the BKSTS, the Moving Image Society”
 
Mr Collard is also the Link Governor for Maths (Numeracy), Computing and ICT including Cyber Security.
In addition to his specialist roles you will often find Mr Collard attending various events and concerts in school, in support of the school and the students.

KS4 Concert

7th March 2023Mrs S Field
The KS4 concert last week was a great success, with the year 11 students performing their solo pieces and the year 10’s forming a band to rock the evening out.
The crowd were thoroughly entertained and the boys got some invaluable performance experience #thesoundofEGSmusic 🎵

“building connections”

The Reach Society services are tailored to be easy to understand by boys in their primary, secondary and tertiary stages of their personal development; and by young men in the process of entering adult life

At Reach Society we believe that Black boys and young Black men are born with unlimited potential. And that they, like all young people, need to be encouraged, motivated and inspired to discover their potential by taking the actions early that will lead to the formation of habits that are essential for the development of robust characters
