Governance
Our Local Academy Committee is a local governing body composed of volunteers drawn from the community, each bringing a range of skills, expertise and professional experience. Our Governors provide essential links between the school, parents and carers and the local community. Governors work with staff and parents in an atmosphere of co-operation to provide the best possible framework for educating our children. They are involved in all aspects of school life and have the opportunity to influence the school experience and the lives of the children in our school.
Governors fulfil their responsibilities by:
- Supporting the school and its ambition by working strategically to develop and implement vision and ethos.
- Ensuring that the children are receiving the best education and achieve the best outcomes by monitoring the quality of teaching and standards across the school.
- Accounting to all stakeholders for the school’s performance and for the decisions they make.
- Listening and being the voice of our school community.
- Ensuring our children are supported to be in school by monitoring data linked to attendance.
Our committee members are:
Iona Wallace – LAC Chair & Community Governor
Carla Ferla – Headteacher
Denise Bassett - Community Governor
Elizabeth King - Community Governor
Faye Lewis- Parent Governor
