Governance

The Governing Board is part of the Leadership and Management of the school and works within the Department for Education and Local Authority guidelines.

 

The board has three core functions:
 

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
  • Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff.
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.

 

Our school governors meet regularly; Full Governing Board meetings are held once a term which are supported by regular Business and Curriculum Committee meetings. 

 

Our Business and Curriculum teams meet termly, with our subject lead governors making regular visits to the school to undertake learning walks for their subjects.
