Bexley Grammar School HOME OUR SCHOOL NEWS & EVENTS TEACHING & LEARNING SIXTH FORM JOIN US CONTACT US OUR SCHOOLGOVERNANCE GOVERNANCE Bexley Grammar School is a single academy trust; it is not part of a federation. Its Governors are Members and/or Trustees. The Trust has 5 Members (of which 2 are Trustees and 3 are non-Trustees) and a maximum of 14 Trustees comprised as follows: up to 9 appointed by the members; 2 Parent Trustees elected by parents of students registered at the school in a secret ballot; 2 Staff Trustees elected by staff in the school; and the Headteacher. Trustees may also appoint up to four co-opted Trustees. Apart from several other specific purposes the Governors mainly support the school as members of three Committees which deal with policies, developments and assessment of three different areas of the Academy’s functioning. These Committees are: Curriculum and Pupil Progress Committee Staffing and Pupil Welfare Committee Finance, Resources and Audit Committee The Governors have powers delegated to them from the full Governing Body to make decisions on behalf of the school within the remit of the committee’s sphere of concern. The committees meet each term and their work is reported to the full Governing Body in a meeting towards the end of each term. All policies and budget decisions are decided upon by agreement of the Governing Body. The day to day management of the school is the responsibility of the Headteacher and his Senior Management Team. The Headteacher acts as the Accounting Officer and is a member of the Finance, Resources and Audit Committee; each of the two Deputies is attached to the other two Governors’ Committees. The Deputies also run Learning Teams (teams of staff with relevant responsibilities) within the school which are linked by area of concern to the relevant Governors’ Committees and so the work of the school and that of the Governors is clearly linked through areas of interest, self-evaluation and reporting.
