Within a Multi Academy Trust, each academy school will usually have its own local governing body (LGB). These have similar status to committees of a maintained governing body and the only powers they have are those delegated to them by the board. This is normally formalised into a scheme of delegation.
The governors of Ridgeway Secondary School are volunteers, committed to ensuring that all the children receive the best education possible. The role of the Governing Body is a strategic one with three key functions:
· Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
· Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils.
· Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
The governors meet twice every term and visit the school on a regular basis. Meetings for this academic year are:
1 – 18.09.24
2 – 13.11.24
3 – 15.01.25
4 – 26.03.25
5 – 07.05.25
6 – 25.06.25
