Governors

Governance Structure

The Governing Body of The Bourne Academy have ultimate responsibility for the strategic directions of the school. The day-to-day management is delegated to the Leadership Team, headed by the Executive Group under the guidance of the Principal.  Governors come from a wide range of backgrounds and provide expertise in many areas whilst acting as a critical friend to the Leadership Team of the school.

Full Governing Body meetings take place four times a year (2 x Autumn Term, 1 x Spring Term, and 1 x Summer Term). The Governing Body also has established committees with responsibility for Finance, Pay, Risk Management and Appeals. The Finance Committee meets at least once a term, the Pay Committee (as part of the Finance Committee) meets annually and the other committees meet as and when required.

The Academy also has a Link Governor programme, with each key area of the Academy linked to a specific Governor to ensure that the Governing Body has a good insight into all areas of the Academy. The executive leaders of each area usually meet with their Link Governors on a termly basis.

The summary of meeting attendance by the Governors is included in the Annual Report and Financial Statements, which are available on the Academy’s website.
