............................................................................................................................................ 28 On Behalf of the Governors I am now in my second year as chair of governors at Ormiston Denes Academy and wanted to welcome all our new students and their parents/carers in their first term. To all our staff and students alike, we are proud of your achievements ensuring Ormiston Denes has had a second year of successful consolidation in performance across all year groups. The governor’s role is that of a ‘critical friend’, to both support and challenge our Principal and his team to inspire excellence with our students in all that they do both now and in the future. I recently attended the Year 6 prospective parents’ evening and was delighted with the Mrs Tina Ellis MBE presentations of our head boy and head girl. They were confident in talking to such a large Chair of the Local group of people, describing how this confidence had been encouraged during their time at Governing Body Ormiston Denes as well as progressing in their academic studies. We will be introducing all of the governors to you in future editions
