Welcome to our Governors’ section.
Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.
The governing body's aim is to take a largely strategic role in the running of a school.
This includes:
Setting suitable aims and objectives for the school
As a member of the CADMUS federation in addition to the single governing board that covers six schools, Leighswood has an individual local advisory committee.
All members sit on two committees
One of the underpinning principles of the Cadmus Federation is to ‘promote a collaborative approach whilst developing the capacity of each school to serve its own community and retain its distinct identity.’ The structure of the current Governing Board ensures decisions can be made at local advisory committee level and the local advisory committees can closely monitor the work in their school
