Alumni

If you’re a former student of EGA, we want to hear from you!

Your experiences since leaving could help to motivate and inspire our current students to feel more confident in making decisions about their future. We’d love you to join our alumni network and stay connected with the school.

You can choose how and when you help – perhaps you can act as a career and education role model, provide work experience, become a mentor in person or online, or help with donations, fundraising or even apply to become a governor.

It doesn’t matter when you left us, whether you’re in further education or employment, whether you still live nearby or have moved further away, there are still ways you can help.

Please fill out this form in order to get in touch 

Many of our ex-students keep in touch with their teachers at EGA and we are always delighted to hear about their achievements. We hope that you will be interested in what the students below have to say about their school days. Read their profiles below.
