Mr C Prankerd

Headteacher

I am incredibly proud to say I am Fareham Academy’s Headteacher and excited to be leading the school on its journey, Unlocking Potential and Creating Opportunity for every student and staff member of our team. I have been in education for over 18 years and have experience of leading departments, heading up pastoral care, overseeing outcomes and developing whole school Teaching, Learning and Curriculum. Every school I have worked in has seen strong improvements in results, achievements and student wellbeing. My passion for education has always been to see all children reach their potential no matter their starting points. I am also Chair of the Governors for a primary school and offer support, challenge and encouragement to their Head Teacher. I find it invaluable to understand governance from both sides of the table. As a father myself I fully understand the responsibility we have to keep safe and nurture our students academically and socially, allowing them to flourish as responsible young adults. I am proud to work with the Academies Trustees to ensure we continue to do this

I am a Purchase Ledger Administrator and Credit Controller at Bigneat Limited, Waterlooville which I joined in 2015. I passed my Association of Accounting Technicians exams in August 1998 and became a member in December of the same year.

I am a Lieutenant Officer with 1st Wymering Boys Brigade Company, and have been an officer since 1993. I became a school parent governor in November 2000 when my son was in Year 10 because I wanted to help and know about the running of a school, my particular interest being special needs provision, as my son was discovered to have special needs when he was six. When my 4 year term was up I converted to being a community governor as my hearing impaired nephew had joined the school. I became a member appointed governor when the school converted to an Academy. My grandson started at Fareham Academy in 2017 and I also have a great niece in Year 8. My hobbies are cross stitch, lace making and knitting. Every year I spend a week at the Great Dorset Steam Fair which is my yearly holiday.

Mrs R Clifton

Trustee

I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with 10+ years’ experience of teaching with a passion for helping children to get the most out of their time at school. This experience has given me an insight into what is required within an academic setting and all of the problems and last-minute changes within education that need to be addressed. I am a local parent to 4 children, 1 of whom already attends Fareham Academy, with the rest following in the next few years. My children also attend a range of extra-curricular clubs run in the community that are held on the grounds of Fareham Academy. As a former pupil of this school, I am keen to make sure the school remains the heart of the community where all children are proud to be part of the school. Previously, I was a school governor at a local Junior school with extensive experience in the various challenges and expectations of a governor and am now dedicated to my role as a governor of Fareham academy.
