Governors (Academy Committee)

Great Heath is sponsored by the Academy Transformation Trust (ATT*) who monitor what happens at the Academy, but additional challenge and oversight is provided by our local governors or academy committee. The appointing body for our governors is ATT. This team is made up of dedicated members of the local community – business people, parents, local officials, ATT and staff representatives and specifically:

Lloyd Hughes (Chair) – Community – Term of Office – 01/09/15 to 31/08/23

Sarah Stevens – Community – Term of Office – 30/03/17 to 29/03/21

Carl Jones – Community – Term of Office – 01/09/15 to 31/08/23

Jane Seaney – Community – Term of Office – 11/11/10 to 10/11/23

Bunmi Akindiji – Parent – Term of Office – 28/11/18 to 25/11/22

Andrew Smith – Staff – Term of Office – 21/05/18 to 20/05/22

On behalf of the Governing Body of Great Heath Academy I would like to take this opportunity to set out, very briefly, our aims and principles. We are committed to excellence in teaching and learning. This commitment encompasses every aspect of your child’s education from the classroom to the playground to the local community as a whole.

What Do We Do?

Whilst the governing body carry many legal responsibilities for the school, this only represents part of the overall story. These activities include:

Oversight of the effective delivery of the curriculum
Monitoring the progress of children throughout their school life
Developing and monitoring the annual budget and finances
Long-term planning for the future development of the school
Ensure effective policies covering areas such as child welfare, recruitment, health & safety etc.

In addition to these, governors are visible within the school and play an active part in celebrating in the success of the children. For example:
