The Role of the Academy Governance Committee

At Loddington CE School, we have an Academy Governance Committee (AGC) that has some delegated responsibilities from the Trust Board of Directors as outlined in the Trust’s Scheme of Delegation.  They engage with our local community.  They do not hold the academy to account but carry out the following role

Vision and Values

• Agree the vision and values for the academy with reference to the SIAMS Schedule, in partnership with the academy community, ensuring they are aligned with the Trust’s Vision and embracing equality.
• Monitor that the vision and the values are being ‘lived out’ in all aspects of the life of the academy.

The role of a Governor:

• Each Governor will act in the best interests of the Academy and of PDET at all times.
• No Governor is to act or omit to act in a way which would be prejudicial to the interests of the Academy or PDET at any time, including any actions or omissions which might create bad publicity for the Academy or PDET.
• The Governors must keep confidential all information of a confidential nature obtained by them relating to the Academy and/or PDET.
• No governor can act on her/his own without proper authority from the full governing body;
• All governors carry equal responsibility for decisions made, and
• Although appointed by the Academy Trust Directors, the overriding concern of all governors has to be the welfare of the school as a whole.

Governor Responsibilities

Each Governor is responsible for focussing on different areas of the curriculum, they meet with the member of staff responsible for that area and make visits to the school to view lessons and gain a greater understanding of the key features of the different subjects and the way they are taught.

The following summarises the key areas and the name of the governor responsible for that area.
