Our Governors
Each school within the Trust has its own local governing body which is made up of:
• two staff governors, one being the Head of Site
• two parent governors
• five co-opted governors
The local governing bodies meet at least three times a year with meetings being held every term.
The Trust has a formal risk management policy to assess business, strategic and educational risks and to implement risk management strategies. The process involves identifying the types of risk the Trust faces, scoring and
prioritising each risk in terms of its potential impact, assessing the likelihood of occurrence and identifying means of mitigating the risk. A risk register is maintained and reviewed by the Audit Committee on a regular basis.
There is one local governing body committee for each school within the Trust and each committee meets three times a year.
Each local governing body committee is responsible for:
- ensuring that all young people within their school have access to a high quality education provision in line with the shared mission and vision
- monitoring the implementation of their school’s annual Development Plan, ensuring that it is delivering against agreed strategic and local objectives and moving the school and the Trust as a whole towards achieving and sustaining a regulatory judgement of outstanding in all areas
- ensuring that the academic and well-being needs of their young people are being met effectively through the design and delivery of a broad and balanced curriculum which, through the use of personalised, developmental support, helps to maximise each individual’s success and enjoyment
- ensuring all young people are safeguarded
- working towards the Trust’s collective published admission number (PAN) being full
