Governing Body (Local Academy Council)
As a school within Leeds Diocesan Learning Trust we have a Local Academy Council who ensure that governance is delivered in line with the Trust's scheme of delegation. There are currently 8 members including the Headteacher. The Headteacher is responsible for the operational day-to-day management of the school. The Local Academy Council's role is to help with setting the vision and strategic direction of the school, challenge the standards of learning and ensure financial resources are well spent.
Each governor has a link role and they come in to school termly to monitor their specific area. We meet for full Local Academy Council meetings three times per year.
We have link governors in the following areas:
Safeguarding
Quality of education
Vision and distinctiveness
Finance and resources
Vulnerable learners
Wellbeing
