Local Governing Body
The Local Governing Body (LGB) was established by, and reports to, the board of Sapientia Education Trust via its committees. It operates under agreed Terms of Reference and a Scheme of Delegation, meeting, formally, four times within the school year.
Abiding by a Code of Conduct, we monitor the work of the school, focusing on the three core functions of governance:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
- Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff.
- Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.
We work closely with both the school and the Trust, with each governor focussing on an area of expertise, setting the vision for the school and ensuring that it works efficiently and effectively towards achieving that vision. We do this by building a thorough knowledge of the school and its community, by both supporting and constructively challenging the school, and by ensuring accountability and compliance. Our focus is on the progress and outcomes of the students and ensuring that the school promotes the highest of standards and aspirations.
We can be contacted at governors@shs.set.education or via the school office.
