Local Governing Body
What do the School Governors do?
The three core functions for governance in all academies are:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Holding the Executive Leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
Primary responsibility for these functions is held by the DNEAT Board of Trustees, but it delegates responsibilities to the Local Governing Body (LGB) of each academy via a document called a Scheme of Delegation.
Our Local Governing Body consists of 5 Trust Appointed Governors, 2 Parent Governors, 2 Staff Governor and the Headteacher.
The full LGB meets twice each term. We are currently developing an Ethos Committee which will meet once a term this will include children across the Federation.

The Churchside Federation Local Governing Body welcomes interest from all those who will support us in our Federation vision and aims. For the avoidance of any possible doubt, we confirm that we continue to welcome and will consider from all, applications regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, social standing, physical disability, religion, faith or sexual orientation.
As we are a small Governing Body, we do not feel that it is appropriate to report on personal information relating to diversity. At Churchside Federation, we believe that when people feel respected and included, they can be more creative, innovative and successful. While we have more work to do to advance diversity and inclusion, we are working to move our Federation forward.
