Governors

The Governing Board are the strategic leaders of our school and have a vital role to play in making sure every child receives the best possible education. Their purpose, reflected in the law, is to 'conduct the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement at the school'. They have a strong focus on three core strategic functions:

Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;

Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff;

Overseeing the financial performance of the school with the Trust board finance Committee and making sure its money is well spent.

We are fortunate to have a strong Governing Board who are committed and work with staff to ensure that all learners achieve and fulfil their potential. The Governing Board meet on a termly basis. In addition, the Governors meet as a Curriculum & Standards Committee every term as well as fulfilling their role as a Link Governor holding school to account.

Governor Meeting Attendance

Peter Collinson - Chair of Governors

I am Pete Collinson, I am married to Sarah, have 3 children and live in Stapenhill. Originally from Cumbria, I moved to the area in 2001 and have since made Burton my home.

Professionally, I have held a number of senior commercial and analytical positions over the past 20 years in employment and I currently work for Volvo Trucks UK and Ireland as Aftermarket Sales and Extended Offer Director.

I feel my contribution will provide the opportunity to give something back to the community.

I believe it is incredibly important to help shape the young people in our area and support the school system from which I have benefited as I have grown up. It would also provide the chance for me to be more closely involved in the education of my own children and to help shape the next generation.

Hopefully the skills and experiences I have developed growing up, in education and in the career I have taken can benefit the children, help shape the future strategic direction of the academy and can be useful to the team.
