THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE SCHOOL

The affairs of the Boxing Academy are the responsibility of the governors of the school, who are all trustees of the Academy Trust and directors of the company for the purposes of company law. The Articles of Association provide for the appointment and election of the governors. 

The governors work together to:

• Set the Academy's strategic direction: mission, ethos, core values, aims and objectives.
• Secure accountability for the Academy
• Monitor and evaluate the Academy's performance

Their role is mainly strategic and they do not get involved in the daily running of the school: this is responsibility of the Principal and her staff.

Any parents who wish to raise personal or individual issues relating to their child should raise them through the usual school channels in the first instance.

The full governing body meets 4 times a year. The Principal attends those meetings, along with other staff and advisors where appropriate. The board has two sub-committees who meet regularly with the remit for:

  P&C: Progress & Curriculum (Data, Progress, Outcomes, Attainment, Safeguarding)

  F&R: Finance & Resources (Finance, Resources, HR, H&S, Property)

The Governing Body consists of the following people with expertise in different areas that serve the school’s needs.
