  My name is Kate Everest and I am a community trustee for South Charnwood High School.

  Professionally, I am the Education and Student Experience Manager in the School of Sport Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University and work to quality assure every aspect of the student lifecycle.

  As a trustee, I bring expertise in governance, HR, and have a broad understanding of assessment practices. Working in Higher Education and having a recruitment background I am the link trustee for Careers. I sit on the Personal Development Behaviours and Attitudes Committee which includes oversight of the beyond-bullying initiatives in school. I am also Chair of the Payroll and HR committee.

  I began my trustee involvement as a parent trustee when my son was still attending the school but my passion for education goes beyond that of my now grown up children. I want to continue to support the School to provide a high quality education which meets the needs of every pupil.

  As a Parent Trustee, I have a particular interest in supporting the ongoing development of the school community so that each and every student has access to an excellent learning environment and can achieve the best outcomes. I am an experienced charity CEO and have over 20 years' experience of working within higher education, having developed my leadership and management career at De Montfort University and the University of Derby. After completing my CIPD qualification in Human Resource Management in 2022, I now work as an independent HR Consultant, working with clients from across the education and charity sector. I aim to bring my experience of the education system and my knowledge of HR and charity governance to the committees I support at South Charnwood, which include Finance, Audit and Risk and also Personal Development, Behaviour and Attitudes.

  It has always been important to me to be able to take an active role in supporting my child's school where possible, and I was pleased to be able to join the Board of Trustees as a Parent Trustee in March 2024. I strongly believe that every child and young person deserves a positive school experience, where they can receive a high quality education enabling them to feel supported to achieve their full potential, whilst also developing themselves as individuals. My professional role is within Finance at the Local Authority where I work across a range of service areas within the Children & Families department (including some Education/Inclusion services). Due to the nature of my professional role, I sit on the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee and I look forward to supporting the school to be a continuing success.

  My careers totalling 41 years in secondary teaching and in Church of England Ministry before retirement have furnished me with a lifelong interest in education.

  Having had considerable experience as a Primary School Governor I joined the Board of Trustees at South Charnwood High School in May 2017. My background in education and experience of governance has equipped me to Chair the Quality of Education Committee. I also serve on the Pay Committee and am the Training and Development Trustee who encourages and facilitates attendance by my fellow Trustees at training courses. In recent years I have also become a Trust Member overseeing the Governance of South Charnwood High School.

  I am a Community Trustee of South Charnwood High School and Vice-Chair of the Quality of Education Committee. As a former pupil of the school (September 2001 – July 2005), I wanted to return to the school as a Trustee to support its bright future and ensure all pupils receive an outstanding education to reach their full potential. As a Scientist and University Lecturer, I use my educational background and analytical skills to support and challenge the school in my role as a Trustee, ensuring all pupils receive the highest standard of education.
