Local Governing Body

The school is part of the ONE (Owl North East) Trust which is a multi-academy trust of 8 schools in the Outer West.  We have a Trust Board with committees.  Once of the committees is our Local Governing Body.  The Trust has a Scheme of Delegation and Terms of References which state roles and responsibilities. 

Further details of our governance structure can be found by visiting the ONE Trust website at https://www.onetrustacademies.org.uk/

What does a school governor do?

Governors are responsible for overseeing the management of a school including strategy, budgeting, policy and staffing. They support school to run as effectively as possible, working with senior leaders and teachers to provide excellent education for the children. They are not responsible for the day to day running of the school which is the role of the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team.

Being a school governor requires a commitment to attending governing body meetings to consider issues such as setting the vision of the school, agreeing and monitoring the school budget and scrutinising educational outcomes.

Governors can bring a wide range of skills and expertise to the governing body and school can benefit greatly from this.
