Many of the younger visitors to the site (at least those under 50 years of age) will recall John Paine, who retired from the school at the end of last term. The East Kent Gazette published an article covering John’s retirement recently and I reproduce this below.

Being a Borden Grammar School Governor – the inside story by Alan Snelling
When I was at School in the 1960′s it seemed that you had to be over 60 and have grey hair to be a Governor – well it seems I now qualify on both counts. I have been a Governor for BGS for 10 years now, 3 of them as the Old Bordenian Association Governor. It started because my son was at the School and I applied to become a Parent Governor. There were several others also applying and the process had to go to a vote among Parents and each applicant had to product a paragraph or so about themselves. I noticed from the other parents that I was the only one from the Isle of Sheppey so I prominently mentioned this in my statement and I think I got most of the votes from the Island which catapulted me to stardom as a Governor – a sort of ‘Sheppey’s got talent’?
