Meet The Governors
Welcome to the Governors' Section
As an academy the school has five members:
Mr Iain Burnley
Mr Mark Webb
Mr Tim Peacock
Mr John Powe (Chair of Governors)
A representative from the Diocese of Lincoln
The members are akin to the shareholders of a company. They have ultimate control over the academy trust, with ability to appoint some of the trustees (Governors) and the right to amend the trust's articles of association.
The Trustees or Governing Body of St. Andrew's C.E. Primary School has three significant roles to play:
• To be strategic
• To act as a critical friend
• To be accountable
|
All terms are for 4 years unless identified as ex-officio.
