Becoming a Governor

Being a governor at The Macclesfield Academy is an interesting and rewarding role.  Governing body members come from all walks of life and include community members, parents, teachers and business support staff.

Our governors not only share their advice and support but also get involved in all aspects of school life.

The Governing Body is committed to diversity and inclusion at all levels.

The Governors welcome and encourage contact with parents on all matters relating to the school but ask that matters of concern be raised, in the first instance, with the Headteacher.
