Award-winning school experts and business leaders are joining The Bay CE School Governing Board to become what will undoubtedly be one of the Island’s most talented and experienced team of school governors.
Overall there will be 4 new appointments to the Governing Board including Sarah McCarthy-Fry (GKN Finance & IT Director and former MP for Portsmouth), Alison Beane (Executive Headteacher of Mary Rose Academy, Cliffdale Academy and Redwood Park Academy in Portsmouth) and Ria Allan, Headteacher at Brookfield Community School in Fareham.
Katie Walker-Green completes the team as a new parent governor.
Duncan Mills, Executive Head Teacher commented:
“Normally, when a school experiences difficulty, people are very quick to distance themselves, but, in Sandown, the situation couldn’t be more different. People have stepped up and are all pulling together for the good of the school.
“With the guidance of the DFE and full support of Isle of Wight Council and the Hampshire LA, coupled with my extremely hardworking staff on both the primary and secondary sites, I am confident that we are going to be in great shape come September”.
Chair of Governors, Rev. Ian Lovell commented:
“We already have fantastic governors on our board and the new appointments bring wider expertise in the secondary school sector. I am confident that we have possibly one of the strongest team of governors on the Island, ready for our opening in September.”
