Local Governing Body

Local Governing Body

Our Local Governing Body play an important role in supporting the Board of Trustees and providing key elements of local governance for academies.

The Local Governing Body works with our academy to:

Ensure the academy operates within the mission and ethos of our trust and contributing to our trust’s key strategic priorities
Monitor the quality of teaching and learning, attendance, behaviour and safeguarding, within the academy and progress against the academy improvement plan
Hold academy leaders to account for improvement of standards in the academy
Engage with wider academy activities as a means of monitoring overall quality
Ensure compliance with our Trust’s policy for safeguarding and that our academy maintains a ‘culture of vigilance in respect of all safeguarding matters‘
Engage with learners, staff members, parents and carers and our Trust community to understand their views.
