Accord Multi Academy Trust

Emma Moggridge, Governance Officer Level 4, 05/11/2025

Taking part in the Governance Officer apprenticeship has truly empowered me—not only has it given me the confidence to speak up about the importance of my role, but it’s also helped me articulate the value of strong governance. These skills were invaluable during the interview process for the NGA Outstanding Governance Awards, and I am so proud that my organisation were named finalists for "Outstanding Governance in a Multi-Academy Trust".  

Tutor support and workplace learning have been invaluable, and one of the biggest highlights for me has been connecting with fellow learners—sharing ideas and best practice has really enriched my learning experience.
