Academy Committee 

The governance of our school is conducted via First Federation Trust. We also have a local academy committee which is made up of two elected staff representatives, two elected parent representatives, up to two community members, and the Head of School.

The group meets once per half-term to discuss school improvement work and matters arising, and has the following members:

• Rianne Keys (parent council member, appointed 16/02/23 for four years).
• Georgia Bays (parent council member, appointed 17/07/23 for four years).
• Laura Piper (elected by support staff on 14/01/2022 for four years):
  I am one of the staff representatives. My role at the school is Family Support Worker, and the Academy Committee gives me an opportunity to consider whole-school actions and their implications for the people who work at school. 
• Katie Burnett (elected by teachers on 06/10/2022 for four years):
• Simon Atkinson (appointed by First Federation Trust on 14/01/2022 for four years:
  I am the Baptist Minister of Brixington Community Church. I have been the minister since September 2006 and, as part of my role, I am the Chaplain to Exeter Chiefs Rugby Club. During my time in Exmouth, we have worked closely with school undertaking regular assemblies.
• Ruth Kennedy (appointed by First Federation Trust on 01/09/2023 as a community member for four years).
• Stuart Dyer (Head of School):
  I have been head of school since September 2017. I feel that the development of the Academy Committee is a real step forward for our school as it means important decisions for and evaluations of the school are made from the perspective of all stakeholders. 

A chair is appointed for each meeting.
