Our School is an academy and is part of the Oak Trees Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). The Trust is led by a strong Trustees Board who

are accountable for Trust-wide performance - including finance, health and safety and compliance - with each school having a Local Governing Committee, charged with being the eyes and ears of the local community for each school.

Further information about Oak Trees academies, MAT trustees, policies and governance are available on the Oak Trees MAT website. https://oaktreesmat.co.uk/

About Our Governors

The Local Governing Committee is responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers the highest quality of education for our children. Together with the Headteacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management, they work collaboratively to support and challenge the school leadership team in a number of areas, including safeguarding, behaviour, attendance and health and wellbeing.

There are currently 6 members of the Local Governing Committee who bring with them a wide range of expertise from varying professions.

The Full Local Governing Committee meet termly, with an additional meeting in the Autumn Term.
