Governors

Our Academy has a dedicated team of Governors who are actively involved and support all aspects of school life, including joining children on school trips, attending concerts, supporting in class and helping out at fundraising events.

The Academy is managed by the Executive Principal, Academy Principal and Leadership Team with the Academy Governing Board being a 'critical friend' to the Management Team to ensure the Academy has the capacity to improve and raise overall standards.
