Governing Sandbrook
The school governors form a Local Governing Board and are responsible for the link between the Trust and the parents and the community, feeding into the trust's oversight and management of the school. They are supportive and highly motivated. They have a deep understanding of the nature and mission of Sandbrook and are committed to its vision and aims. They work in partnership for the best interests of the children. Their vision and passion for continued improvement steers and focuses their decision making process.
All governors follow a code of conduct and have a strategic role within the school, in summary, they:
- Develop an understanding of how the trust and the school are led and managed
- Are a link with parents and the community
- Monitor the work of the school, escalating any concerns to the CEO and /or trustees
- Review key decisions made by the headteacher eg. pupil exclusions and responses to complaints
- Report to the Trustees of Leading Learners Academy Trust
