Acton High School Governors Celebrate
Governors from Acton High School, Acton, and Mayfield Primary School, Hanwell, were among those celebrated at the second Ealing Governance Awards on Thursday 21 July.
The Mayor of Ealing, Councillor John Gallagher, presented the awards, which honour the hard work and achievements of the borough’s school governors.
Acton High School’s governing body won the ‘Outstanding Full Governing Body’ award. They were recognised for the dedication and support they have given to the senior leadership team and the wider school following the recent early retirement of the headteacher.
Ann Colgan, Acton High School’s deputy headteacher, said: “We have had an extremely difficult year after the early retirement of our headteacher due to serious illness.
“The governing body has rallied and worked hard to support the senior leadership team and all the staff through this difficult time. In addition they also gave hours of their time to recruit, interview and appoint a new headteacher.”
Councillor John Gallagher, the Mayor of Ealing, who presented the awards said: “As well as congratulating our worthy winners, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our governors for giving their time and talents for free.
“Ealing is known for its good schools and these committed men and women play a huge part in maintaining those high standards.”
