REAch2 Governance

We have 2 layers of governance in REAch2: local governing bodies which oversee individual schools and our Board of Trustees who are ultimately accountable to the Department for Education for the running of the Trust.

All our schools share the same governance structure and you can find information about the trust on the REAch2 website at www.reach2.org.  The Governance page gives details of how the Trust is organised, including the Articles of Association, the Master Funding Agreement and all the documents which relate to how the Trust was founded and how it runs today.  You can also find details of who our trustees are.

Our school, like most schools in the Trust, has a local governing body (LGB).  There are terms of reference, which detail how the LGB should work and what its responsibilities are.  On the REAch2 website, terms of reference are available for all our boards, including the Trust Board.  You can also find documents which show how all the different layers communicate and how responsibility and accountability is distributed.

Governance in our school

The Local Governing Body (LGB) holds meetings during the year in which they help to support the school, its leadership and pupils, whilst challenging to make sure that everyone achieves as much progress as they can and should.

Our school's LGB is made up of appointed members who are volunteers, parents, staff and the Headteacher. You may see who our governors are below. Governors have to declare that they are working for the school in an open and honest way and so fill in a declarations of interests form annually and declarations of interest is an item on every LGB meeting agenda.

There is also a shared servives team with offices and business partners who specialise in proviidng support in areas such as finance, education, HR, health and safety, estates and governance. Please see the following information about our governors and governance:
