Ray Egbufoama

Chair of Governors

I am a Big 4 trainied Chartered Accountant with exposure to the workings and challenges of varied sectors of the economy. I am a holder of a Masters Degree in Finance and a fully qualified of CIPFA & ICAN respectively. I currently work as a Group Accountant at the BANES Council, supporting and advising LA Maintained Schools and Academies. I am passionate about giving back to the society and when an opportunity to be a Foundation Governor presented itself I applied.

Swapnalatha Prabhakara

Vice Chair of Governors

With over 12 years of experience in education, I am privileged to serve as Deputy Headteacher, RE Lead, and DSL at St. Mary's School. My career began in secondary schools, teaching Computer Science, but my passion for holistic development led me to primary education. I've held senior leadership roles in diverse educational settings, including a four-form entry school in the Middle East, where I focused on curriculum and assessment. Returning to St. Mary's, where I once completed my work experience, is a special homecoming. Having recently completed the NPQH and pursuing the Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies, I'm dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment for every child's growth and potential.

Awaiting Bio

Ian Lang

Staff Governor

I most recently served at the Ministry of Defence as Head of Joint Key Crypt & Cyber Programmes, where I was responsible for delivering systems that enable the operation and exploitation of global Defence communication networks.

I bring over a decade of experience working with Defence Special Users, including direct support to Counter-IED operations overseas. During this time, I led the development and deployment of complex, innovative, and nhighly specialised technologies, managing programmes. 

I have also contributed extensively to Defence international programmes, with a particular focus on command and control systems, communication networks, and advanced data analytics and exploitation capabilities.

My broader experience lies in avionics engineering. Earlier in my career, I developed a strong technical foundation as an engineer, gaining hands-on experience across all aspects of aeronautical engineering and flight test.

I am currently the school caretaker at St Mary's.
