Local Governors visit and meet the School Council

By Fiona Wilkins - February 26th, 2026 | Posted in Article

We were delighted to welcome members of our Local Governing Body into to school to meet with members of staff, students and have a look around the school.

An absolute highlight of their visit was meeting with members of the School Council. They told governors about recent initiatives which included a safeguarding walk where the students pointed out a few areas of fencing that were in need of some attention.

Local Governors form part of our Local Governing Body (LGB), a committee of the OHCAT Board. Our governors work collectively to:

  • Support strategic leadership by upholding the Trust’s vision and values.
  • Monitor educational standards, including pupil progress, safeguarding, and curriculum opportunities and quality.
  • Oversee operational and financial compliance, ensuring resources are used effectively and policies are followed.
  • Champion staff wellbeing and development, contributing to recruitment and supporting leadership.
  • Engage with the school community, acting as a bridge between the academy, parents, and wider stakeholders.

Our governors come from diverse backgrounds and bring a range of skills. What unites them is a shared commitment to improving outcomes and transforming lives for all pupils.

For further information about the local governing body please visit the Governance page on our website.
