GOVERNORS/DIRECTORS

What is the governing body?

The Governing Body is a group of unpaid volunteers from various parts of the community. They are required by law to help the school provide the best possible education for its pupils.

They play a critical role in setting the strategic priorities for the school, and ensuring that the school is effectively run by the Executive Principal.

The role of the Governing Body is to:

• set the strategic aims and objectives of the school;

• ratify the policies for achieving those aims and objectives;

• approve and monitor the Academy's annual budget;

• approve and sign the annual report and financial statements; and

• be a source of challenge and support to the Executive Pricipal, acting as a critical friend.

The Governing Body is organised into sub-committees which undertake delegated work on behalf of the full board.  The sub-committees are:

• Finance and Premises / Audit 

• Strategic Management

• HR

• Pay Appeals 

• Fund Raising and Engagement Working Party

As and when required, additional sub-committees are convened on a temporary basis to help formulate policy and provide strategic guidance in addressing particular issues that the Academy is facing.

A full list of governors, along with details of which sub-committee they serve on, can be found below.
