Mr. Julian Kennett
I am the Chair of Governors at Christ Church CE Academy. I have an honours degree in German and History from the University of London. I have worked overseas with the Foreign Office in Qatar, Bangladesh, Ghana, Russia and Germany undertaking a range of law enforcement roles. I now work as a Project Director in the Department for Education managing the delivery of school construction schemes.
Ms. Becky Price
As a Trust Governor at Christ Church CE Academy, I am proud to be part of a team dedicated to ensuring the very best outcomes for our children. Alongside my governance role, I serve as Head of School at Diamond Wood Community Academy, also within the Enhance Academy Trust. With 13 years of teaching experience, I remain deeply passionate about providing every child with the education they need and deserve. I firmly believe that strong collaboration between schools and communities is key to success, and I am dedicated to serving and supporting Christ Church CE Academy in every way possible.
Mr Winford David
I joined as a Trust Governor at Christ Church CE Academy in 2024 through my link with my local church Woodhouse Christ Church, where they announced that Christ Church CE Academy was looking for a volunteer governor. Following my meeting with the Exec Head and a tour of the Academy, I was excited to join the team of governors. I currently work within an Healthcare Social Enterprise as an IT Support Analyst, we are a small but very busy department in addition to providing Out-of-Hours support for GPs, Healthcare Professionals and Operational staff. I have always been part of a church growing up, and was Baptised in 2015, where I have volunteered on Refreshment duties and as a Minibus Driver. I enjoy serving in God's Kingdom and where possible bringing my life's experiences to my Governing role. I am dedicated to working within Education, Healthcare or supporting good causes.
