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
