Our Academy Governing Council
Governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising standards in schools.
At our academy, governors include representatives of staff, parents, our sponsor The Co-op and other local organisations.
To contact our governors please use the main academy contact details. To find out more about our governance structure, please see the governance page on the Trust website.
