The Governors form a dedicated team who support and oversee the development of the school.

The purpose and remit of the Local Governing Body

​Our Local Governing Body (LGB) meets at least 5 times during the academic year. They provide advice to the Trustees and assist in the decision making of the Trust board by enabling more detailed scrutiny and consideration to be matters at an academy level. They also make decisions, comments or recommendations on such matters relating to the academy within the schemes of financial and general delegation, and in relevant policies and procedures. 

At the first meeting of the academic year, the LGB will appoint a chair and vice chair. The chair and vice chair must be local governors who are not employed by the trust. ​
