Governing body (17 current, 2 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

14 governors are linked to a profile (13 confirmed, 1 (likely)).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
