Academy Governance

Academy Governance

Our Academy has two layers of governance: the Members of the Trust, who operate at a strategic level (they are the owners of the company, rather like shareholders) and the Governors (who together make up the Governing Body) who have the responsibilities delegated to them by the Academy Trust. The constitution of an academy is set out in its Articles of Association which are agreed with the Secretary of State.

The Governing body is composed of 11 representatives from the Church, local community, school and parents. They are responsible for establishing the aims and policies of the school, setting and implementing the school budget, and ensuring that the curriculum is taught. They set targets for the school and ensure the implementation of these targets. They visit the school regularly and act as a link between parents, the Church, and the school.

The Governors have regular half-termly meetings and have also formed Working Groups/Committees to focus on specific areas.
