We are a thriving school community that exists to educate children and young people who are patients at Evelina London Children's Hospital on behalf of the Governing Board, I am delighted to welcome you to Evelina Hospital School. It's a great privilege to serve this exceptional community as Chair, where education is delivered with both compassion and ambition.
From my first visit, I was struck by the unwavering dedication of our staff, the boundless energy of our pupils, and the passion our teachers bring to fostering a love of learning in every student. As a Governing Board, we take immense pride in both our children and the school community, and we are committed to supporting the continued success of the school.
We achieve this by driving the ongoing development and improvement of all aspects of school life.
Our governors bring a wide range of expertise from various fields, including education, finance, law, business, and other areas, and collaborate through two key committees—Resources and Pastoral & Curriculum—to ensure strong leadership, effective resource management, high standards in teaching and safeguarding, and robust accountability for both educational and financial performance.
