Welcome to our new staff governor

Dear parent/carer

Appointment of Staff Governor at Outwood Academy City Fields

I am pleased to say that we have appointed a new Staff Governor to join our Academy Council at Outwood Academy City Fields. 

Miss Emily Pickett, Teacher of Geography.

The role of governor is an important one. Our aim must be to ensure that students leave our school as good citizens, able to have rewarding and fulfilling lives.  We need to work to arrange that, in addition to achieving examination success, our students leave us with firm places to go on to in the next step of their chosen careers. 

There are a maximum of six Academy Council meetings each year and, as well as attending the majority of these, governors should also come into to school from time to time to gain an understanding of the performance of the school and to help staff with particular tasks and activities, such as disciplinary matters; representing parents views and concerns; student enhancements; safeguarding; careers advice and so forth.

We would like to welcome Miss Pickett and support them in their role.

With Best Regards

Mrs Joanne Kendall
Chair of Academy Council
