Governors

Committees and Membership

In order to carry out our role efficiently and effectively the detailed work of the Governing Body is undertaken by three committees. In addition to attending Full Governing Body meetings, all governors sit on at least one committee. The Committees report back to half termly meetings of the Governing Body at which broader issues are discussed and agreed.

Curriculum Committee

The Curriculum Committee regularly reviews progress, examination and other performance data. Recommends attainment targets and monitors student attendance. The Committee also ensures that SEN requirements are met, thus promoting high standards of achievement for all.

Finance Committee

The Finance Committee ensures sound management of the Academy’s finances including proper planning, monitoring and probity. Reviews internal controls and carries out duties of the audit committee as delegated by the Full Governing Body. Oversees the management of the budget and cash-flow including variances and projections.

People Committee

The People Committee considers any matters arising in respect of staffing, H.R., Staff/Students discipline issues and Admissions to the Academy.
