As of September 2023, I am privileged to be the Headteacher at West Hill School, a school community that is rich in history whilst holding promise for the future of our young people.

As West Hill approaches its 100th anniversary, it is a privilege to be a part of a school with such a remarkable history. For nearly a century, West Hill has been a place where boys grow into confident, capable young men. For more updates follow us on Instagram and Facebook

Governing body (19 current, 6 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

18 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).

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.
