The Local Governing Body work as a team to develop the school’s vision, strategies and review the educational performance of our academy.
This voluntary role can be challenging and extremely rewarding. It is an excellent opportunity to build on your personal and professional skills. Training and support are available for all our governors during their time on the board, allowing you to use your knowledge and experience to the full extent.
What is required?
Governors are required to attend 6 board meetings per academic year, as well as participate in school visits, and other meetings or panels as required. You will receive regular reports from the headteacher, and senior team and you need to be able to question, challenge and support decisions for the school.
