The Local Academy Committee

Our Governors are all hardworking and dedicated to being a highly effective governing body. They are both supportive and critical friends and have a rich set of skills covering a broad spectrum.

As well as termly full committee meetings, there are three sub-committees including a Finance and Resources, Pupil Support and Standards committee.

Members of the Local Academy Committee serve a four-year term which can then be renewed. All parents have the opportunity of becoming a school governor and all parents may take part in the election of representatives on the Local Academy Committee.

The Local Governing Board (LGB) came into effect on 01.09.21 at the point when the School converted to academy status and changed to Local Academy Committee in 2024.  Our Chair of Governors meets termly with the CEO of the Innovate 2 Educate Partnership which feeds into the Trust Board.

Who appoints our Governors?

  • Parent governors are elected by other parents at the school.
  • Staff governors are elected by the school staff.
  • The headteacher is a member of the governing body by virtue of their office.
  • Co-opted governors are appointed by the governing committee.
  • Associate members are appointed by the governing committee to serve on one or more governing committees.
