The Governing Body exists as a sub-committee of the Denbigh Alliance Multi-Academy Trust to support, coach and challenge the leadership of Watling Academy to provide the highest quality of education, care and opportunity for its students in line with the objectives of the Trust. The Governing Body also acts as a champion for the values of Watling Academy and all Governors sign up to uphold the Nolan Principles of Selflessness, Integrity, Objectivity, Accountability, Openness, Honesty and Leadership through role modelling those Watling values of Respect, Responsibility and Kindness.
