A Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) is a legal entity accountable for the running of the organisation and all the academies within it. The MAT is a charitable company limited by guarantee, and has multiple layers of governance: the Members, the Board of Trustees and Board Committees, which include a Local Governing Committee for each school within the MAT.
Burton Green Primary School and Skelton Primary School are working closely together under the executive leadership of Ash Atherton. As a result it has been agreed that there is a joint Local Governing Committee (LGC) for the two schools.
The Local Governing Committee serves as a sub-committee of the Hope Sentamu Learning Trust York Board of Trustees, and their responsibilities are set out within the Trust’s Scheme of Delegation. If required, the Board can either delegate more powers to the Local Governing Committee or withdraw powers in exceptional situations. Governors are not involved in the operational running of the school; the daily management of the schools is the responsibility of the Executive Head Teacher. All decisions are made as a group; governors are there as a corporate body responsible for the governance of the school and not to represent their own interests or the interest of others.
Local governors have three central duties:
i) setting the vision of the schools
ii) holding the Executive Head Teacher to account
iii) and ensuring the schools’ financial management is to the highest possible standard.
The Local Governing Committee provides the school with a wide range of skills and experience which supports the Senior Leadership team in vital decisions that enhance the schools’ environment, curriculum and delivery of the best educational experience possible.
If you are interested in becoming an LGC member do contact the school to find out about the current vacancies.
Governors do not need specific skills, but many of the tasks they are required to undertake can benefit from general business knowledge such as understanding management systems, budget planning and HR functions. Local authorities are required to ensure that training for governors is available and most governing bodies buy into their local authority training packages (which may include online learning) to ensure that governors are properly inducted to their role and trained for specific tasks such as appointing the Executive Head Teacher and then carrying out the Executive Head Teacher’s performance review.
The LGC is made up of:
The Executive Principal, two Parent Governor and two Staff Governors. The remaining governors are co-opted and all the above governors have full voting rights at Local Governing Committee. Information on the governors is below with detail of their specific responsibilities, business interests and terms of office. The Chair of Governors -chair@bgp.hlt.academy
