Governors

Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.

Our Governors are representatives of the local community, parents and school staff. They bring a range of interests, knowledge and skills to the school and they all work in a voluntary capacity. There are various types of governors.

If you are interested in the education, welfare and opportunities provided for children and young people and you have enthusiasm and time to spare, you could consider volunteering as a school governor.

  • Governors give their service voluntarily and no formal qualifications are necessary although there are eligibility criteria
  • Governors are ordinary people, aged over 18, with a special commitment to education and the well being of children
  • Terms of office will be a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 4 years

As an Academy school, we have agreed the scheme of delegation for all Local Governing bodies.  This can be found on Empower Trust website or via the link below.

If you are interested in becoming a governor please contact Head of School Mrs Kynaston on 01743 464570.

 

There are three types of governor:

  • Parent governor
  • Co-opted governor
  • Board Appointed governor
