Governance
Our school is governed at a local level by an Academy Committee, comprised of individuals local to our community who have a commitment to improving education, parents and staff. The Academy Committee’s main role is to carry forward the vision, values, ethos and strategic direction of the school, hold senior leaders to account for the educational performance of the school, and ensure the voices of stakeholders are heard. The Committee meets regularly and individual governors also visit the school to oversee specific aspects of our work.
Academy Committee:
Chair of the academy committee - Rodney james
I am now retired, but formerly worked in financial services and with the local council as Data Quality Manager.
My Hobbies and interests lie within sports, politics and current affairs, reading and family.
Both of my sons, who are now in their 30s went to Longthorpe Primary School, as does currently my eight year old grandson.
I became a governor to give something back to the school that has featured so much within our family.
