Local Academy Board

Brian Williams (Chair)

I am delighted to be a member of the Dryclough Campus Local Academy Board.  I joined the Board after working for over twenty years in education. I have been lucky enough to have worked across all age ranges in a variety of positions from class teacher, to advisory teacher and as a head of school.

I am now retired and spend my days reading, writing, walking and cycling around the valleys of Kirklees. I love music and travelling and consider myself to be learning all the time. I am therefore very happy to be a part of this exciting new venture which has, of course, the experience of learning, at its core.

It is exciting to be participating in this project and to be one small part of a team that is committed to providing the children of this area with an outstanding educational experience. I look forward to meeting and working with teachers, parents, carers and all school staff as we prepare our young people to be articulate, positive and active members of our community whilst readying them for life beyond the boundaries of school.
