Governance
Broadheath CE Primary School and Pre-School is part of the Diocese of Worcester Multi-Academy Trust. As a key part of our school community, the governors play a crucial role in ensuring that we maintain the highest standards of education and care for all our pupils. Our dedicated team of governors comprises individuals from various backgrounds, including education, business, and the local community, all committed to supporting the school’s mission and values. They work closely with the school leadership to set strategic priorities, monitor progress, and ensure that we meet all statutory requirements. Their collective efforts help us create a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
The Headteacher is responsible for the internal organisation, management and control of the school and the implementation of the strategic framework established by the governing body. School governors provide strategic leadership and accountability in schools. Governors also help appoint the Headteacher. Governors have a responsibility to oversee finance in schools, and it is governors who work with the Senior Leadership Team to make decisions about balancing resources.
Each individual governor is a member the Local Academy Board, which then reports to the trustees of the Multi-Academy Trust. Broadheath CE Primary School is part of the Diocese of Worcester Multi-Academy Trust (DoWMAT). Individual governors may not act independently of the rest of the governing board; decisions are the joint responsibility of the governing board.
