Governance

Our School Performance Review Board (SPRB) brings together school, parent, staff and community representatives to provide constructive challenge and support to school leaders.

The SPRB includes:

• the Academy Principal;
• two elected Parent Representatives;
• one Staff Representative; and
• two Community Representatives

We aim to bring together people with a diverse range of skills, experience and perspectives who share a commitment to the success of the school and its pupils.

The SPRB focuses particularly on pupil performance, pupils' experience of school and progress against school improvement priorities. Members review information, ask questions and provide challenge and support to school leaders. They also help strengthen links between the school, parents and the wider community.

Representatives are appointed for a term of up to four years, with the exception of those who are members by virtue of their role. The SPRB meet four times during the academic year, with members also contributing through training, school visits, link roles and panels where appropriate.

If you are passionate about improving education and would like to make a positive contribution to schools and their communities, we would love to hear from you.

Our SPRBs bring together parent, staff and community representatives, each bringing different skills, experience and perspectives to support and challenge our schools.
