Governors
A Local Governing Body are actively involved in supporting and challenging the staff at Carr Lodge Academy School to be the best we can.
The Local Governing Body’s overall purpose is to:
ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school;
hold the Principal and senior leaders to account for the educational performance of the school and its children and the performance management of staff;
oversee the financial performance of the school, making sure delegated money is well spent against the identified priorities and within the agreed budget;
actively embrace community, parental and staff engagement to raise the profile of the school within the locality and beyond; encourage growth of the pupil population and support in staff recruitment and retention.
Governors operate within the remit of a Scheme of Delegation which can be downloaded from the Trust website at https://www.exceedlearningpartnership.co.uk/key-governance-information/
