Governor Vacancies:

The Local Academy Board has a vacancy for two parent governors and is looking for parents who are interested in this role and who have children at the academy. The term ‘parent’ relates to any person who has ‘parental responsibility’ as defined by the Section 576 of the Education Act 1996. If you have any queries about your eligibility as a parent, please contact me for further advice.

As a governor, you will normally hold office for a period of 2 years, even if your child leaves the academy during this time. You can, however, resign from the Local Academy Board at any time.

The Local Academy Board is responsible for both the conduct of the academy and for promoting high standards. The Local Academy Board carries out its role by setting the vision and strategic direction for the academy and then ensuring that the academy works efficiently and effectively towards achieving its vision. It does this by building a thorough knowledge of the academy and its community, by both supporting and constructively challenging the academy, and by ensuring accountability and compliance.

Local Academy Boards are responsible for a wide range of matters which come under three core functions:

· Setting the vision and strategic direction of the academy

· Holding the Principal to account for its educational performance

· Ensuring financial resources are well spent
