Welcome from the Co-Chairs of the Local Academy Council

We are honoured to have been appointed as the new Co-Chairs of the Local Academy Council Board.

As long-serving Foundation Governors, we both care deeply about this school and its mission.
We are passionate about Catholic education and committed to supporting St Joan’s in providing each and every child with an excellent education, alongside opportunities for holistic development – academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially.

As Co-Chairs, we are fully committed to continuing to work in close collaboration with All Saints Catholic Academy
Trust and the Diocese of Westminster to ensure that our staff are supported and valued, and our pupils are given the very best opportunities to succeed. We also see it as our responsibility to act as ambassadors for the school and the Trust within the wider community, championing the values that make St Joan of Arc such a special and inclusive place.

We are proud to be part of a school community where faith, learning, and care for one another are at the heart of
everything we do. We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with you all – parents, carers, staff, parish,
and community members – as we build on the strong foundations already in place.

With warmest regards,

Mary Hughes & Silvio Ciccone
Co-Chairs of the Local Academy Council
