The Governing Body and Academy Trustees
Functions |
Under the terms of the 1996 and 1999 Education Acts, the Governors are responsible for the Management of the school. On the 1st November 2010 the school converted to an Academy under the Government’s Academies Act 2010. The Academy Trustees hold overall responsibility for the Academy. All Government Orders relating to schools are now directed to them. The Governors receive and consider the annual budget, and any proposals for major changes. They also approve the staffing structure for the school. |
|
Meetings |
The Learning & Standards Committee and the Managing & Organising Committee each meet on 1 evening each half term, but may hold other meetings to consider particular matters. The Head of School presents a report which includes sections on curriculum and academic matters, staffing, finances and buildings and future policy. |
|
Appointments |
Governors are usually involved in permanent appointments. |
