Chair’s Welcome

Welcome to Tidemill Academy’s website. Our aim as governors is to work with the leadership team of the school to make Tidemill a great place to learn and work.  I am delighted that our governors, all volunteers, bring a diverse range of experience, and their enthusiasm, to the board. As a Local Governing Body, we elected to join REAch2, a primary academy Trust.  Local governors are accountable to their Cluster Board and through this body to the Trust Board (which in turn is accountable to the Department for Education). This model ensures that local governance is still able to be very responsive to local community needs, maintaining its individuality, while also having a far-reaching network through which we can share and develop expertise. 

We are proud of what we have achieved, including expansion of our buildings to provide more learning spaces for our pupils. The Tidemill Academy Local Governing Body value feedback from parents/carers and the local community. Please feel free to contact me via the Headteacher or speak with us when you see us at Tidemill.
