The Local Academy Board has a vacancy for two parent governors and is looking for parents or grandparents who are interested in this role and who have children at Spa academy. 

As a governor, you will normally hold office for a period of 2 years, even if your child leaves the academy during this time. You can, however, resign from the Local Academy Board at any time.

It does this by building a thorough knowledge of the academy and its community, by both supporting and constructively challenging the academy, and by ensuring accountability and compliance.
