New principal for academy
Monday October 06th 2008. Posted: 09:00
Lynne Heath has been appointed as the principal designate for the Communication Academy in Harpurhey, North Manchester.
BT is the lead partner in the academy and will be providing teaching staff and students with expertise and experience in education, communication, information communication technology, and the world of work. Lynne’s appointment follows her success as head teacher at Prescot School Language College in Knowsley. Despite being in the third most deprived borough in the country, numbers at the school increased from 650 pupils to 930 and it reached a 51 per cent success rate of 5A*-C during her time there. As well as having more than 20 years' teaching experience, Lynne has worked in an advisory technology teaching position with the Cheshire local education authority, and as a teacher fellow with ICI in Runcorn - and spent three years as an inspector and advisor with Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council. BT programme director Sue Webster said: “Lynne is an experienced head teacher who shares our vision. Her first priority will be to work with us to develop the curriculum and policies for the academy to ensure we are ready to open and welcome students in September 2010.”
