Governance

Trustees of Anglian Learning will be accountable for Deneia Primary Academy.

Trustees will implement oversight of academic priorities and performance.

Trustees are accountable for the implementation of Trust policies which will provide guidance for the Headteacher.

The school forms part of Anglian Learning and information on the Trust’s governance, finances and funding can be found here.

The Local Governing Body will comprise of members of Anglian Learning, members of the local community, staff, and parents.

Anglian Learning’s rationale for local governance is to ensure clarity of vision and strategic direction of the academy, maintaining a focus on how well leaders are using resources to address the priorities agreed. Anglian Learning’s Operations Team maintains oversight of many statutory requirements to allow governors and leaders to focus on the quality of education. In the case of Deneia Primary Academy, governors will have a key role in representing and engaging with the local community, especially parents.

Governors will have the responsibility of raising school standards through these key areas of:

• setting strategic direction.

• ensuring accountability.

• safeguarding and promoting the Trust’s values.

• supporting the Headteacher and being a critical friend.

• monitoring achievement, quality of teaching, behaviour, and safety.
