Governance
Our school is governed at a local level by an Academy Committee, comprised of individuals local to our community who have a commitment to improving education, parents and staff. The Academy Committee’s main role is to carry forward the vision, values, ethos and strategic direction of the school, hold senior leaders to account for the educational performance of the school, and ensure the voices of stakeholders are heard. The Committee meets regularly and individual governors also visit the school to oversee specific aspects of our work
For full details of our Academy Committee members, including their business interests and attendance records, see Here.

gulfraz Umar ijaz - Trust appointed Governor.
My substantive post is with Peterborough City Councils – Children in Care team.
I am employed as a Children's Social Care Practitioner. I have over 20 years of experience of working with children and families.
I enjoy spending time with my family and my life revolves around my children and my mother. I love cooking, baking, drawing and painting and applying henna tattoos. I am also learning to sew!
I believe that children can achieve more if parents show an active and visible interest in their school life and education. If children can see a trusting relationship between parents and staff, they will feel safer and more confident.
My motivation to become a governor came from other parents and the need for parent governors so we can share the views of parents where it matters.
shahid (chaz) akhtar - Trust appointed Governor
Having a background working for local authority in social housing and strategic partners, my skills will help me as a trustee governor for the school to achieve its potential. I feel passionately about the importance of education to change children’s lives.
I am currently the Safeguarding link Governor.
Neal Wilmore - Staff Governor
I live in a semi-rural village to the north of Peterborough but having completed my SCITT within the city and living in the area for 19 years I am familiar with the city demographics. I have no personal ties to Jack Hunt School.
I am interested in the school strategy and its long-term development. Becoming a staff governor will provide the opportunity to actively contribute to this process and hold those responsible to account for the ongoing improvements.
I enjoy walking, running, exploring the outdoors, wildlife, geology, reading and watching a variety of sports.

I am eager to work alongside fellow board members to drive initiatives that enrich learning experiences, foster a culture of excellence, and prepare students to be responsible, informed citizens.
