Governing Body

Balsam Academy is a unit of Balaram Memorial Trust, established in 2004 as a result of a vision by a small group of individuals who recognised the challenges faced by mainstream schools in providing adequate services to a diverse student population, particularly those with low income and differing beliefs, languages, and behavioural approaches. The name "Balsam" reflects the school's commitment to nature in all aspects of its operations.

With a team of qualified and passionate facilitators, Balsam Academy's Governing Body is dedicated to providing support and guidance to students, leading to far-reaching positive implications not only for the school community but also for families and the broader community. Moving forward, the Governing Body aims to facilitate pathways for young people seeking entry into the workforce, collaborating with organisations that offer innovative solutions for young people and complement the school's ethos, exploring creative educational ideas for parents, children, and schools, and providing resources for new community initiatives.
