Governors

Governance Structure

The Governing Body of The Bourne Academy have ultimate responsibility for the strategic directions of the school. The day-to-day management is delegated to the Leadership Team, headed by the Executive Group under the guidance of the Principal.  Governors come from a wide range of backgrounds and provide expertise in many areas whilst acting as a critical friend to the Leadership Team of the school.

Full Governing Body meetings take place four times a year and the full body is supported by three main sub-committees which meet a minimum of once a term and provide more detailed oversight in the key areas of the Academy. These committees are:

• Education Standards and Performance Committee - monitors the educational attainment, teaching and learning standards and curriculum
• Finance, Audit and Risk Committee - monitors Academy finances, financial procedures and controls and oversees risk management
• Staff & Resources Committee - monitors and safeguards the resources of the Academy, including estate management and staff wellbeing

The Academy also has a Link Governor programme, with each key area of the Academy linked to a specific Governor to ensure that the Governing Body has a good insight into all areas of the Academy. The executive leaders of each area usually meet with their Link Governors on a termly basis.

The summary of meeting attendance by the Governors is included in the Annual Report and Financial Statements, which are available on the Academy’s website.
