Aqueduct Primary - Governors Introduction
The Governing Body plays a key role in helping oversee the strategic direction of the school and works in partnership with the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team. The main aim of a Governing body is to ensure the delivery of a high standard of education for all pupils in its care.
The governing body :
Since converting to Academy status with Reach2 in April 2024 we have an Intervention Board.
Intervention Boards are established by the Trustees and Executives in response to significant concerns or circumstances as set out in the intervention section of this terms of reference. The role of the Intervention Board is to support and challenge in such a way as to bring about rapid improvement in the areas of concern whilst also conducting all other functions delegated to LGBs in the Trust. It is anticipated that Intervention Boards will be in place for no more than 18 months but individual circumstances may cause this timeline to be extended.
Remit
The LGB’s role is key in ensuring proper oversight and accountability within
