“The main role of a Governor is to monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achievement of its aims and objectives, and to be a source of challenge and support to the headteacher (a critical friend)” (Department For Education)

We have an Academy Governance Committee (AGC) that has some delegated responsibilities from the Trust Board of Directors as outlined in the Trust’s Scheme of Delegation.  They engage with our local community.  They do not hold the academy to account but carry out the following role

Vision and Values

• Agree the vision and values for the academy with reference to the SIAMS Schedule, in partnership with the academy community, ensuring they are aligned with the Trust’s Vision and embracing equality.
• Monitor that the vision and the values are being ‘lived out’ in all aspects of the life of the academy.
