All Academy Trusts have two layers of governance – Members and Directors. Some (like NCLT) choose to have a third, i.e., Advisory Groups. Details of Members and Directors can be found on the Trust’s website – https://nclt.ac.uk/governance-information. Our Advisory Group can be found below.
All governance and financial information can be found on the Trust policies page – https://nclt.ac.uk/policies
Richard’s ethos is to ‘make a difference’ to peoples’ lives, this led him into my career in Pharmacy and has been his guiding principle in each role he subsequently held.

All his roles have brought valuable insights that he brings to the Advisory Group of Wingfield Academy.
