Governors

On behalf of all governors that form our Local Academy Board, a huge thank you to all who make Oakview a special place to learn. From the staff who put in tireless effort and enthusiasm to make learning as engaging as possible to the pupils who do their best every day. And, of course, to carers and parents for all you do to support the school and your child’s learning.

You may wonder who the Local Academy Board are and what we do. We are a group of volunteers whose role is to ensure the school does the best possible job to support every child to fulfil their potential. I like to think of our job as a critical friend. Like any good friend, we visit often and celebrate milestones, progress, and success. But like the friends we trust the most, we also ask difficult questions and are unafraid to challenge too. All of us are passionate about helping the future generation. Between us, we bring a wide variety of perspectives and experiences from leading youth groups, family charities, school publishing, and educational technology companies.
