Local Governing Body
We hope that the information you find within this website will prove useful and give you an insight into our caring, inclusive and successful community.
The Local Governing Body works collectively as an open and approachable team. Governors also have specific responsibilities and monitor each of the year groups. 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. We encourage students to play a full and active part through representation on the Student Council.
On behalf of all the governors, I wish your child a happy and successful career at Swinton Academy
David Lennox
