Governors

Governors

Governors have a strategic role in the development of the school.

Overview of Governance

 

Tickford Park Primary School is part of the Grand Union Partnership Multi Academy Trust. Each school within the Trust has its own Local Academy Committee with a constitution of 10 Governors which includes two parent governors, one staff governor and the Headteacher.

Effective Governance at any level in a Multi Academy Trust should have a focus on:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
  • Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff.
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.

The Local Academy Committee has a strategic role to provide support and challenge to the operational management of the school by the Headteacher and represents the interests of the local community. 

Governors at Tickford Park meet twice a term and use these meetings to oversee and monitor school improvement and financial health and providing constructive challenge to school leaders. Governors visit the school regularly to monitor school improvement and the progress that the school is making and to gain assurance that the school is fulfilling its key statutory duties.

Since the school is part of the Grand Union Partnership Multi Academy Trust, governor responsibilities are delegated to them by the Trust Board. Please use the link below to see the Scheme of Delegation the trust adopts:

All Trustee and Governor roles are voluntary, and we are very grateful for the significant commitment that all of the people involved make at every level of governance across the trust.

If you would like to find out more about any of these roles, we would be delighted to talk with you, please contact Julie Stevens in the first instance.

A welcome from the Tickford Park Primary Local Academy Committee


Thanks for visiting the Tickford Park Primary School website.


We are enormously proud of our school and of how it serves the community of which it is part. We are especially so of the pupils and of what they accomplish. We are ambitious for the children, and our goal is to help Tickford Park Primary School children achieve as much as they possibly can while they are with us. We want children to leave the school wholly ready, confident and ambitious for themselves as they begin the next step of their journey through education. That goal is one that the Head Teacher and all of the staff at the school, work towards every day and we are proud to support them as they do so.


We know that the community is also committed to the success of Tickford Park Primary School. The school is supported by a large number of volunteers who involve themselves many aspects of school life and we are grateful to the Friends of Tickford Park and many others. We are also grateful to local businesses who make many invaluable contributions. However, we know that the school could never be a success without the support of parents and carers working in partnership with us to achieve our vision of achievement for the school and we thank them for it.


Finally, this is our second year as a member of the Grand Union Partnership. We feel that our move to becoming an academy school with this trust has been a great success. Their support for the school has been very much appreciated by the governors of it.


It is wonderful to know that so many people are contributing to making the school the best it can be. Thanks go to you all.
