What do governors do?
The Local Governing Body (LGB) of each academy meets at least 3 times a year to assure the highest quality provision, safeguarding and equality of opportunity for all pupils, and effective support and management of staff. Through formal reviews the LGB robustly considers school performance.
The LGB considers:
- The Academy Principal’s Report – self-evaluation against current OFSTED criteria and any other criteria set by the LGB or the Trust
- Impact of key actions from the Academy Improvement Plan
- Monitoring activities undertaken by the academy
- Local and contextualised issues
- Direction from the Trust Board
