I am extremely honoured to be the first Patron of the Calne Foundation Trust.
The Lansdowne family has had a long association with both St Mary’s and St Margaret’s schools in many ways over the last century. From the first move to the current site, through my husband’s tenure as a Governor and more recently with pupils in both schools, there has been a strong connection.
It gives me great pleasure to retain that link with the past whilst working with the Foundation to ensure an even greater future for the schools.
