Local Governing Body
The Local Governing Body works collectively as an open and approachable team. Our Governors represent a wide spectrum of our community with parent, education, community, local authority, business and staff interests all well represented. We focus on curriculum, pupil performance, progress, behaviour and attendance to ensure our Academy helps your child to achieve to their best.
