A message from our Regional Director
We’re delighted to share the news that our Executive Headteacher, Ms Katy Bergman, has been appointed as Executive Headteacher for Co-op Academy Portland starting with immediate effect.
In her new role, Katy will be sharing her expertise across three Trust primary schools on the Wirral, Co-op Academy Woodslee, Co-op Academy Hillside and Co-op Academy Portland. We want to reassure you that this change will allow Katy to increase her involvement in our school community. Also, we are thrilled to announce that Leanne McGowan has been appointed as our Deputy Headteacher. Leanne has a wealth of experience in SEND & Inclusion, curriculum and school improvement. We look forward to her working in partnership with Julia Haggett to drive whole academy improvement. We are confident this will be a fantastic opportunity for all and look forward to our three Wirral schools working in partnership with Katy as Executive Headteacher.
Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Ms Bergman directly via katy.bergman@coopacademies.co.uk or contact the office on 0151 334 1406.

REWARDS
Improving attendance is everyone’s business. The barriers to accessing education are wide and complex, both within and beyond the school gates, and are often specific to individual pupils and families. At Co-op Academy Hillside, we will do all we can to support your family and ensure our academy is safe, calm and a supportive environment for your child. Let’s celebrate everyone’s success together.
