Sir Robert Pattinson Academy is an 11 – 18 comprehensive school recently judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted due to the education and opportunities provided to pupils enabling them to flourish within a calm and caring environment. The school is situated on an extensive, beautiful site offering purpose built facilities.
What we need:
We are seeking to recruit a Community Governor. This would be someone from the local community preferably with a background in charity law, finance, business or leadership to support the Academy in its strategic development. This is an exciting time to join the Academy and the role provides an opportunity to support its improvement and make a difference.
We are looking for someone local but with no connections to the Academy.
Our Governors work together to carry out their core functions:
- ensuring there is 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
- ensuring the voices of stakeholders are heard
Governors must also ensure that the governing body complies with all legal and statutory requirements.
Governing body strategic responsibilities
The Governing Body works closely with the Head Teacher and senior leaders. The Head Teacher is responsible for the day to day management of the Academy whereas the role of the governing body is strategic.
Monitoring and evaluating school performance
Governors must monitor the priorities that have been set to ensure progress is being made.
A full induction and training programme are provided.
