Dear Parents/Carers,
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Phil Page as our new Chair of Governors for September 2025.
Phil spent nine years as a governor in a primary school in Enfield Borough, during which time he took on roles of Safeguarding Governor, Chair of Finance and Resources Committee, Vice Chair of Governors and ultimately Chair for four years. During his tenure Phil was an active participant in doubling the size of the school to four form entry, which involved building a new site for KS1 & KS2. A couple of years later he managed the recruitment of a new Headteacher and his successful integration into the school.
Phil says it is a rare opportunity to be able to join a school as a Chair of Governors. He is very much looking forward to offering whatever support he can give to his fellow governors, the Leadership Team, teaching and non-teaching staff and of course pupils and parents.
Phil was born in Edmonton adjacent to Pymmes Park. He attended the former Silver Street Primary School from 4 to 11 years old and then Latymer Grammar following what was then known as The Scholarship. Phil’s grandparents are buried in Tottenham Cemetery; his first Saturday job was in a shoe shop in Bruce Grove.
I’m sure that you will share with me a very warm welcome to Phil and we look forward to seeing him in person at school in the new academic year.
Yours Sincerely,
Julie D’Abreu – Headteacher
