We meet as a Local Governing Body, independent of the TKAT Board of Directors, but accountable to TKAT for everything we do, and our main functions are to set the strategic direction for the Academy and to hold its leadership to account.

We Currently have 7 Governors;

• 1 Headteacher 

• 4 Appointed Governors 

• 1 Staff Governor 

• 1 Parent Governor 

 Chair of Governors:  Julia Fuller

Vice Chair of Governors: Wendy Morgan 

We also meet in committees (Business Committee and Standards Committee) to examine aspects of the school’s work in closer detail. 

The Business Committee is chaired by Rachel Martin 

The Standards Committee is chaired by Dee Hazelden

We visit the school regularly to monitor its progress and we ask challenging questions to ensure that the school is meeting the needs of all the children and providing an education that will enthuse and inspire them.  We regularly speak to children, parents and staff to find out their views.

There are three categories of Governor: ‘Appointed Governors’ are approved and appointed by TKAT; Parent Governors are elected by parents of pupils in the school; and Staff Governors are chosen by the school staff (both teaching and non-teaching staff). We also have a Clerk who is appointed by TKAT to co-ordinate and to keep records of our work, and to advise us on legal matters.

Being a school governor is a rewarding and fulfilling role; helping to provide a suitable, safe, and exciting environment for learning is critical to giving every child the chance they deserve.
