Governors are a vibrant group of committed volunteers that represent and reflect the community of the school (parents, school colleagues and our wider community). Our governors are a key part of the strategic leadership of the school.   

The Local Governing Body help set and dedicate themselves to the vision, values and strategic direction of the schools, maintaining their individuality whilst encouraging collaboration and sharing of excellence. They share responsibilities for supporting, monitoring and evaluating the performance of the schools in delivering a fulfilling, broad and balanced education for all their children. 

The Local Governing Body:

• meets 6 times per year as a full board, with no additional committees
• is part of a larger governance structure for Inspiring Futures through Learning Multi Academy Trust, which includes IFtL Members and Board of Trustees.  The full structure and responsibilities of these roles, including details of who serves within them, is available at iftl.co.uk/governance-in-iftl)
• carries out its delegated functions and responsibilities which are focused upon:
• the wellbeing and safety of all children and adults within the schools’ communities
• the standards of educational performance, for all children, within the schools
• the position of the schools within their wider communities and how the schools contribute positively to this
• to identify, and look to mitigate, risk in relation to the above
• to carry out the duties delegated to the Local Governing Body by the IFtL Board of Trustees, outlines in the IFtL Scheme of Delegation (seen at iftl.co.uk/governance-in-iftl)
