Staff

I joined the Glascote Academy family in 2014, during this time I have progressed from being the Early Years Leader to becoming Head of School. As part of this role I lead Early Years, Key Stage one, Fundraising, Outdoor learning and support the Head Teacher with assessment. I am very passionate about the Early Years ethos and curriculum and I am lucky enough to teach full time in Reception. In my own time, I enjoy socialising with my friends and family, being part of Girlguiding where I help to run a Brownie Unit. I love to travel and aspire to see the world, these are also aspiration I wish to instil into the children of Glascote Academy.

Miss Michelle Powell

Job Titles:

Head Teacher
Member of the Leadership Team

I am the Headteacher at Glascote Academy, although I have been part of the teaching team at the school for 20 years when I joined as an NQT. During this time I have seen many changes to the school, staffing and headship; however I am happy to say that the school continues to push forward and is always striving to provide the best education and opportunities that it can for all of its pupils. I am extremely proud to work at such a special school and with such amazing, committed people. On a personal note, I am both a proud mother and grandmother, and when time allows I enjoy reading and spending time with my loved ones.

Mr Peter Armitage

Job Titles:

Vice - Chair of Governors

My name is Peter Armitage and I am a Co-opted Governor of this school. I am 72 years of age this year but my work with the school helps me keep young and I hope to give many more years of service. I work for the royal Mail as a Community Action Co-ordinator and I have been proud to be involved with the school for about 8 years. I joined the Governing Body as a Community Governors and acted as Vice-Chairman for two years. In March 2010 I was made the News of the World's children's' Champion and in April of the same year met Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle where I was awarded the MBE.

Mrs Chantelle Wynne

I have been a governor for the last 2 years. I wanted to continue being involved with Glascote Academy after both attending the school myself and both my now grown up children attending the school. I also enjoy helping out with the school discos and year 6 prom each year, giving all children every opportunity to celebrate and have fun for all their hard work and effort. I enjoy being part of the excellent education and family environment that Glascote Academy delivers. On a more personal level, I have two teenage daughters, they keep me busy. I love spending time with friends and family, socialising, taking holidays, travelling and making memories.

Mrs Vanessa Buchanan

Job Titles:

Chairman of Governors
Our Chair of Governors Is

Starting as a parent Governor, as well as working in the school as a volunteer and on the School Farm I have seen many changes as Glascote Academy has grown over the years. Along with the development and growth of the school, I too have developed personally, and I now enjoy my role as Chair of the Full Governing Body. I am passionate that all children at Glascote Academy can access the best education we can offer. I am privileged to be a part of a dedicated and equally passionate team who want the best for our children. My own children thrived during their education at Glascote and they continue to make me proud daily. On a more personal note, I was born in Birmingham and moved to Tamworth in 1991, where I have lived ever since. I am also a foster carer, a role that I would not be able to do without the support and nurture from my family. I enjoy family & friends time and love nothing more than spending the evening snuggled up with my family and a good movie, a bag of popcorn and a bottle of pop. When I do get any time to myself, I enjoy my garden (more relaxing in the sun these days), reading a good thriller (James Herbert) and I love listening to music.
