St Andrew's C.E. Primary School

Enriching Lives

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
