Meadowbank Governors have many responsibilities and kindly volunteer their time and experience for the good of the school community.
The Meadowbank Academy Governing Board has three core functions and is responsible for:
- ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- to support and challenge the systems within the school to ensure the performance of the school remains at its highest level;
- overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
To ensure effective governance, the following have been put in place:
- the appointment of individuals with the necessary skills, and diversity of perspectives;
- an effective chair and an explicit governor code of conduct;
- clear governance structures with tightly defined remits;
- clear separation, but a positive relationship, between the role of the board and its school leaders;
- the support and advice of an independent and professional clerk;
- robust processes for finance, business planning and compliance;
- processes for regular self-evaluation, review and improvement.
Constitution; 9 Governors (1 Staff, 3 Appointed by GB/Board, 2 Parent)
