Governors
The Governors of the Academy are responsible for the staffing, finance, premises, curriculum and future planning of the school. The Governors work very closely with the senior leadership team in making decisions about the school.
The responsibilities of the LGB are delegated from the Trust Board and are detailed in the Trust’s Scheme of Delegation which can be found here. The Trust Terms of Reference for Local Governors can be found here.
