About Us Curriculum Information Contact Us Academy Council Outwood Academy Foxhills is a proud member of the Outwood Family, therefore ultimate responsibility for our academy rests with the Outwood Grange Academies Trust Board of Trustees. However, some of the work of the board is delegated to the Academy Council, who are the Governors of the Academy. Our Academy Council is a sub-committee of the Outwood Board and its role is to carry the Outwood vision, values, policies and priorities forward while providing internal assurance and, in addition, to develop and strengthen the academy's links with the local community. The Academy Council is made up of governors who are expected to question, challenge and support the school's leadership. Some Governors are appointed by the Trust and others are elected by parents or carers of children who attend Outwood Academy Foxhills The Outwood Academy Foxhills Academy Council Name/Role Date of Appointment Term of Office Ends Mr Allen Ransome Chair of Local Governing Body Appointed by foundation/Trust 2021-10-01 2025-09-30 Mr Stewart Atkinson Local Governor Appointed by foundation/Trust 2021-10-01 2025-10-01 Mrs Sue Hague Local Governor Appointed by foundation/Trust 2021-10-01 2025-10-01 Stuart Marritt Local Governor Appointed by foundation/Trust 2021-10-01 2025-10-01 Mrs Anna Rollins Local Governor Elected by school staff 2021-09-30 2023-09-30 Ms Linda Scott Local Governor Elected by school staff 2020-09-01 2022-08-08 Mr John Veall Local Governor Appointed by foundation/Trust 2021-01-10 2025-01-09 To contact the Chair of Governors, please email t.keates@foxhills.outwood.com The Outwood Board and our Academy Council, and their members, will at all times uphold the Seven Principles of Public Life, known as the Nolan Principles.
