Our Governors

At Peak Academy, our Governing Body plays a vital role in shaping the vision and direction of the school. The governors work in partnership with the leadership team to ensure we provide the highest quality education and support for our pupils, fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every learner can thrive.

The governors are dedicated volunteers from diverse backgrounds, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to their roles. They are responsible for strategic decision-making, monitoring school performance, and ensuring we meet the needs of our pupils and the wider school community.

Through their commitment and guidance, the Governing Body helps us uphold our values and achieve our mission of empowering pupils with complex needs to reach their full potential.
