Governance arrangements
Interim Board
Following the March 2017 Ofsted inspection an Interim Board was appointed to fulfil all functions of a governing body and to conduct the school in a way that ensures improvement and promotes high standards of educational achievement.
The main purpose of the IB is to secure governance of the school and develop a sound basis for school improvement so that the school makes rapid and sustainable improvements in response to areas for improvement as identified by Ofsted full and monitoring inspections.
The Interim Board has taken on all functions previously delegated to sub-committees of the Board of Trustees. The Interim Board meets at least monthly during term-time.
