  Academy Governor Recruitment for St Andrew’s CE Primary School, Weymouth

  I write to invite expressions of interest in the role of academy governor from parents, carers and friends of St Andrews Primary School.  The Trust is continually looking to recruit additional academy governors, including those with chairing experience, who hold a strategic (not operational) role and use their individual skills, knowledge and experience to hold leaders to account for the educational performance of the academy they oversee.

   

  Together, academy governors are for driving educational improvement via the monitoring and evaluation of educational performance against the Academy Improvement Plan (AIP), provision of challenge as well as support to hold school leaders to account for academy standards; pupil outcomes (especially for disadvantaged children), spirituality and wellbeing; stakeholder engagement and regulatory compliance i.e. safeguarding, H&S, SEND.

   

  In terms of time commitment, academy governors meet formally six times per year either in person at the academy or online for 1.5 - 2hour meetings which usually start between 5-6pm. From time-to-time academy governors are invited to attend meetings during the school day where they can, such as, Academy Improvement Meetings run by the DSAT Academy Improvement Team, Ofsted/SIAMs inspection meetings and monitoring and evaluation visits to assess the progress and impact against the Academy Improvement Plan. There are also occasional panel meetings and training events.

   

  More details about the Trust’s governance, including the Scheme of Delegation and committee terms of reference can be found via: https://www.dsat.org.uk/governance/

   

   If you feel you, or someone known to you, possess the skills, knowledge or experience to become an academy governor as a volunteer please contact me by email via: clerk@standrews.dsat.org.uk and CC governance@dsat.org.uk to express your interest and/or ask any questions you may have. No previous experience is required as induction and ongoing training will be provided. Thank you

  I shall look forward to hearing from you! Kind regards,

     Carole Collins
