Bio:
My education was at Graham School and Scarborough Sixth Form College, followed by a degree in Physics and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education at York University. Following university I worked at Ampleforth College teaching Physics before becoming a vicar in the Church of England.
As a vicar in the Church of England I have had the opportunity to be involved as a school governor in several different schools, both Primary and Secondary, over the past 30+ years. And this has given me a wide experience to draw on as I continue to serve as a governor.

For further information, including Governance documents, please visit our Trust website
A Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) is a legal entity accountable for the running of the organisation and all the academies within it. The MAT is a charitable company limited by guarantee, and has multiple layers of governance: the Members, the Board of Trustees and Board Committees, which include a Local Governing Committee for each academy within the MAT.
The Local Governing Committee serves as a sub-committee of the Hope Sentamu Learning Trust York Board of Trustees, and their responsibilities are set out within the Trust’s Scheme of Delegation. If required, the Board can either delegate more powers to the Local Governing Committee or withdraw powers in exceptional situations. Governors are not involved in the operational running of the academy; the daily management of the academy is the responsibility of the Principal. All decisions are made as a group; governors are there as a corporate body responsible for the governance of the academy and not to represent their own interests or the interest of others.
Local governors have three central duties:
i) setting the vision of the local academy
ii) holding the Headteacher/Principal to account
iii) and ensuring the academy’s financial management is to the highest possible standard.
Governors carry out their tasks in a number of different ways, through regular meetings and visits to the academy. Meetings are held at least once a term.
For a full list of Trust Board and LGC meetings, please see below.
The Local Governing Committee provides the school with a wide range of skills and experience which supports the Senior Leadership team in vital decisions that enhance the academy’s environment, curriculum and delivery of the best educational experience possible.
