THE man who will head Herefordshire's first ever academy has been named.
John Sheppard, who is head of Wyebridge Sports College, will front the venture, which will replace the existing Wyebridge College.
"We are utterly delighted with the appointment of John Sheppard as principal designate of the Hereford Academy," said John Chapman, chairman of the Diocesan Board of Education.
"It is widely recognised that he has done outstanding work as headteacher of Wyebridge Sports College, and we are certain that education in South Wye will go from strength to strength under his inspirational leadership."
