THPT Governance

Our model of governance is designed to ensure that all THPT schools are truly bringing out the best of all our children and young people and remain rooted in their local communities. Strong governance is essential in ensuring high educational standards and excellent provision. In line with the statutory responsibilities for multi academy trusts, statutory governance responsibilities are held by the Trust Board, who ultimately govern each of our schools. These responsibilities are delegated to the CEO and in turn executive leaders within the Trust, then to our Principals. These leaders hold responsibility for overall performance, financial viability, legal compliance and statutory duties.

More information about our Board of Trustees and wider governance can be found here.

Helping us to remain strongly connected to delivering for our communities, our Local Governance Boards (LGBs) have an important advisory role. They receive regular updates on school life and engage closely with stakeholders, particularly our children and young people, parents and our staff. LGBs do not however represent statutory governance and have no statutory responsibilities.

More information about this school’s LGB can be found below.

In order to remain at the forefront of professional practice, our Heads of Phase, on behalf of the CEO, line manage our school Principals and have responsibility for academy target setting and monitoring progress towards addressing improvement priorities as well as ensuring an effective culture of safeguarding. 

More information about THPT’s executive leaders can be found here.
