Meet the Governors

Governor's Welcome

I would like to welcome you and your family to our school. White Waltham C of E Academy is a unique and special place where we nurture children from their first experience of education on their journey to become lifelong learners.

Every child is different and we work in partnership with parents to develop each individual to reach their full potential.

With our rapidly changing environment I am confident that we can play our part in preparing our children for their future to be responsible, creative, well educated adults with a strong Christian ethos.
