EGA 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.

As a councillor, my work is done on a voluntary basis – I enjoy helping my residents to solve their complex issues, and advocating on their behalf.

I sit on several boards representing fellow carers and influencing policies and strategies that will help improve the lives of carers and their cared for person.

I also support young people interested in politics, offering support, advice, and shadowing opportunities where possible.

My experience at EGA was memorable and whilst there were moments which weren’t always positive, it did shape the woman I am today. Students across different year groups always supported each other, and it truly felt like a family, making life-long friends, and memories. All the teachers too were very supportive of my education and knew I would become a future leader one day! A special shout out to Ms Bonsu – she brought out my passion for politics that I didn’t even know I had, and the rest was history.

After completing this for a year, in 2021, I came across an opportunity to work at EGA as the Receptionist. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience as a student at EGA which motivated me to want to work here. I was granted the opportunity to do so and progressed from Reception to working in the Attendance department. Working at EGA has been a great experience. I have learnt many skills and been presented with some great opportunities which have allowed me to flourish as an individual in all aspects.
