Meet some of our staff

Mr Fannen is our Head of Maths. He's worked at the Academy since 1998 and maybe even taught some of your parents! We know it's a long time until September but please have a go at his quiz should you wish to.

Mr Shann is our Head of IT, he is also one of our Associate Assistant Principals. You will see him before and after school and during break and lunch times in the dining hall and main corridors. He might also come into some of your lessons just to say hello and have a look at some of your work.

Mr Beever is one of our Assistant Principals. His job is to make sure your learning is as fun and interesting as possible. You'll see him in some of your lessons but he'll be popping in to see your work rather than teaching you in year 7. Make sure you let him know if you've done something you're especially proud of!

Mrs Tarplee is our Inclusion Coordinator. Normally she would visit you at your primary schools throughout year 6 and arrange fo you to visit us. If you have any extra help with anything at primary school, Mrs Tarplee will make sure it continues when you join us.

Mrs Mars is our Bridge manager. The Bridge is a separate classroom where students can go if they need support with anything while they're at school. Mrs Mars has fostered a very welcoming atmosphere in the Bridge, however there are slight restrictions on access to this provision given our current circumstances.

Mrs Arcidiacono is our Business Manager. Her job is to make sure the Academy is safe for everyone. You will see her around a lot before and after school and during lunch or break time checking that everything in the Academy is running as it should be.
