Governance at Clearwater Academy

As members of the Local Governing Board we are responsible for:

Making sure that our school’s vision of ‘Small Steps to Big Dreams’, which is based on the Parable of the Mustard Seed, is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud of our school’s very special ethos and we seek to support it in all the decisions we take
Ensuring that the education every pupil receives is the best it can be. We do this through our support and challenge of the school’s senior leaders
