Local governance matters in our Trust. It is what ensures our schools are rooted in their communities. For children, staff, and schools to flourish and succeed, governance at all levels of the Trust must be highly effective. 

Our governors work closely with staff to help children achieve their full potential in a happy, caring environment. Local governing committees collaborate with the Headteacher and senior leaders to ensure the school is running effectively and in the best interests of all pupils. 

Our governors are representatives of all the key groups involved in our school – parents, staff, the local community, the Trust, and the Church. Some governors are appointed, while others are elected, ensuring a wide range of voices and perspectives are included. 

Governors come from diverse backgrounds and bring with them a variety of skills that support the school’s strategic leadership. They work in partnership with the Headteacher and Rise Multi Academy Trust to guide and shape the direction of the school. 

As part of the wider Trust board, our governors have delegated responsibilities which include: 

• Promoting high standards of educational achievement 

• Monitor targets and progress 

• Monitor that schools are working to their vision and values 

• Ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs are able to thrive 

Please feel free to contact any of us directly in person or via the school office email; mark the 'subject' as FAO School Governors PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL; put your correspondence in an encrypted attachment. Alternatively, post through the school letterbox marking the envelope FAO School Governors 'PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL'.

The full Governing Committee meet once a term to monitor the strategic direction of the school.  All our Governors visit classes and attend assemblies and events.
