As Governors, we all delighted to be part of the new and exciting venture that is Ermine Street Church Academy and will be working in partnership with the Head Teacher, Deputy Head Teacher and all staff to act as a ‘strategic partner’ to:

·         strive for the highest educational standards and promote best practice;

·         put the welfare and needs of our children at the centre of everything we do;

·         sustain the inclusive Church School ethos of our school and maintain a strong relationship with parents and the local community.

Our Governing Body will meet regularly to monitor and continually improve all aspects of school life including the curriculum, personnel, finance, school policies, resources as well as standards of education and achievement. 

 The core purpose of the School Governing Body is to:

·         Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;

·         Hold the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils;

·         Oversee the financial performance of the school and make sure its money is well spent.

We are looking forward to working with the school and you and your children throughout their education at Ermine Street.
