The Governing Body exists to provide strong strategic leadership to our school, ensuring accountability for its educational and financial performance. It is made up of members of our community, parents, staff and stakeholders. Effective governors do not need educational expertise but do need to be committed to our amazing school, willing to ask questions, to both challenge and support the headteacher. They also need to be able to devote the time necessary to work as an enthusiastic member of the governing body team and to attend meetings and get involved in the life of the school.

The Board of Trustees is the accountable body for the performance of all schools within Oak Learning Partnership. Trustees work to:

• Ensure that the trust has a firm strategic direction, well-defined aims and objectives, and a strong ethos
• Ensure that the CEO accounts to them for the educational performance of the schools and their pupils, plus staff performance
• Scrutinise the financial performance of the trust, ensuring financial probity and value for money
