Governors

The Wilmcote Local Academy Council can be contacted through the governance professional - shepherd.r1@welearn365.com

In addition, parent governors are often available on the school playground at the beginning and end of the school day. They would be more than happy to chat about any issues that parents would like to bring to the attention of the Local Academy Council.

The role of Local Governor within The Stour Federation Multi Academy Trust is an important one. In developing our governance arrangements, the Trust Board has sought to ensure that the responsibility to govern is vested in those closest to the impact of decision-making and that such responsibility matches the capacity of those assuming responsibility.

Local Governors are accountable to the Trust Board of Directors as well as to the communities they serve. Local Academy Councils are not governing bodies. There are four main tasks to oversee:

• The experience of a child in a Trust school. Are they happy, safe and well educated?
• The experience of an adult employed by the Trust to work in a Trust school. How are they supported and developed?
• The experience of a parent or carer who chooses to send their child to a Trust school. How are they communicated with? What are their views? How do they articulate their concerns?
• The role of the school as an ambassador for the Trust. How does a model that will be very different for the community (The Trust) become something that is seen as a positive force for good?
