Introduction by Chair of Governors – Malcolm Norman MBA
Hello and a big welcome from the Governing Body here at Branston Community Academy. The Governing Body are all volunteers and there are 13 members consisting of parents and members of the local and business community. We work together with the Principal and the senior team for the benefit of all the students and staff at Branston Community Academy. We are proud to have been one of the first Academy converter schools in the country which enables us to retain our ethos in ever changing times.
One of the questions I often get asked is “What do Governors do?”
Governors at Branston do not manage the Academy, that is the role of the Principal and senior leadership team; as Governors we aim to support them in doing this. At Branston Community Academy we have been privileged for some years to support a very successful Academy; our task is to help to maintain and improve on that success and build successful outcomes for all.
Governors are responsible for the strategic vision of the school (Please take a look at our vision and mission statements) and for supporting the Principal and the senior management team in achieving that vision. Governors have responsibility for appointing the Principal, managing the Academy’s budget, setting annual targets and monitoring performance against those targets, all in the interest of raising standards of achievement and positive outcomes. In addition to these statutory responsibilities, Governors do a wide variety of other things, either through formal committee activity or through personal involvement with the day-to-day life of the school.
If you want to contact us then we would be happy to hear from you; please contact Helen Marriott, Governance Professional at the Academy here.
