Mr Andrew Lovett (Chair) – Teaching and Learning.

I have spent my whole life wrapped up with young people and education. I spent 12 years as the headteacher of Tiverton High School and three of those 12 as head of Rackenford Primary too, before becoming one of Her Majesty’s Inspectors. When my retirement loomed, I was delighted to be able to join the governing body. 

Over the years, I have learnt to spot the signs of a great school. ACE has them, in bucket loads. When you walk through the doors, you can feel its huge heart and sense the staff's commitment to doing its best for their young people. I love being a small part of it, and I am grateful that I can continue to contribute.
