Governors

Our governance model is the same as the other schools across the Oak Learning Partnership. Members of this board are appointed by the CEO and the Executive Team, and all appointments are ratified by Trustees. The The Local Governing Boards (LGBs) support our Headteachers and report to Trustees.

The LGBs have a specific focus on the quality of education at each school.  They support the Headteacher and leadership team to devise and monitor the priorities for school improvement as laid down in the School Development Plan.

Across the school year the LGB meet four times and focus on the following areas:

·        Quality of the curriculum, teaching and pupil outcomes

·        Quality of pupil behaviour and personal development

·        Attendance

·        Quality of leadership and management

·        Safeguarding

·        Pupil premium strategy

·        Stakeholder engagement

The governors of Hazel Wood High School believe it is important that board reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse governing boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people.

The governors are currently collecting data on the diversity of the board, including data on age, gender and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their recruitment and training needs and ensure there is a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making.

Due to our relatively small governing body we do not publish this diversity data online as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
