Governors

Follow the 3 core functions set out in the Governance Handbook 2019:

1. To ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
2. Hold the head teacher to account for the educational performance of the Academy and its children;
3. Oversee the financial performance of the Academy and making sure its money is well spent.

Together, the Governors are responsible for:

• Setting aims and targets for the Academy and checking the Academy’s progress towards attaining these.
• Monitoring how well the Academy’s policies and plans are working.
• Accounting for the performance of the Academy and the Local Governing Body (LGB).
• Working with the Head teacher to make sure that teaching at the Academy is effective and good quality and the children are making the best possible progress.
• Taking general responsibility for the Academy and its budget.
• Challenging and supporting the senior management team and taking opportunities to show interest in and appreciation of staff and children.
• Promoting the interests of the Academy and its children in the wider community.
