What do governors do?

Governors have the responsibility for three main functions at the Academy:

• Setting the strategic direction of the Academy, alongside the Academy's senior leadership team
• Ensuring the Academy meets all its statutory requirements
• Providing challenge and support to the Academy staff to improve outcomes for all the students
