Manchester Health Academy’s new principal, Kevin Green, says he is honoured to be taking on the role.

Mr Green was vice principal at the school on Moor Road, Wythenshawe for four years before the appointment this week, following the departure of former head, Damian Owen in July.

Mr Green said: “I am honoured to take up the role of principal for Manchester Health Academy.  The staff and students of the Academy are an amazing group of people, and it is my pleasure to lead this great organisation forward.”

Prior to joining the teaching profession Mr Green was an engineer for more than ten years before embarking on a teaching career which has spanned 20 years.

David Cain, Chairman of the Manchester Health Academy said: “We are delighted that Kevin has been appointed as our new Principal following his time as the Vice Principal.  He is now well placed to lead the Academy forward and we are confident that our students will benefit from all that he will do, with the support of staff, to deliver a good education to them.”

Letters have gone out to parents informing them of the new appointment.
