c.prankerd@fareham-academy.co.uk 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 currently work at Fareham Borough Council and previously worked at Fareham College as a Learning Support Assistant. I am the LAC/Disadvantaged Pupils Trustee and am a member of The Achievements, Standards and Welfare Committee. I have been a Trustee at Fareham Academy since September 2019 and previously I was a Governor at a local junior School. I am committed to supporting and challenging within my role, to ensure pupils can unlock their potential and create opportunities to fulfil their aims and ambitions.

I have worked in the financial sector for over 30 years in various roles, from advisor to analyst and finally into governance and oversight activities for a major high street bank. I have undertaken implementation of new and improved practices within the industry which have come with their own challenges, however I do believe in setting achievable goals and standards. I am delighted to be a member appointed trustee, with the ability to assist in shaping the future of the school and provide services to the members to achieve our goals.
