- Ensuring the Trust’s Vision and Ethos underpins the work of the school
- Implementing policies and plans agreed by the Trust Board
Standards
- Scrutinising Educational Excellence, including monitoring school data
- Holding School Leadership to account for children’s learning and wellbeing
- Setting aspirational targets for pupil performance and regularly reviewing progress
- Oversight of the quality of Teaching & Learning with knowledge of strengths and areas for development
- Overseeing the distribution and effectiveness of the school budget
Parental and Community Engagement
- Ensuring the school is engaging meaningfully with parents and carers
- Building proactive relationships, not only with parents and carers, but also the local community
- Demonstrating how the views of parents, carers and the local community have influenced decision making
