Local Governing Body

As an academy, the 'Trustees' are accountable for the quality of education being provided. The Trust ensures strong local governance of each academy and retains a clear line of sight into the performance of each academy within its community.

The role of the governing body is too:

support good governance of the school
safeguard and promote the Trust's values
support the Headteacher and be a critical friend
monitor achievement, the quality of teaching, behaviour and safety
engage with the school's key stakeholders, for example, parents/carers, pupils and staff
monitor safeguarding and SEND
