Governors 2020 - 2021

The Academy of Woodlands Governing Body

Governing Bodies were required to reconstitute by 1st September 2017.  

Following reconstitution effective from 1st September 2017 the constitution of The Academy of Woodlands is:  

11 Members and 4 Associate Members: CEO (Headteacher);One appointed Governor; Four Community Governors (appointed by the Governing Body); Four Parent Governors (elected by the parent of registered pupils at the Academy); Two Staff Governors (Teaching and Non-Teaching – the staff governors are elected by the members of staff at the Academy).  

The full governing body meets six times per academic year, with extra-ordinary meetings convened if necessary.

The governing body structure includes two committees: Finance and Building Committee which has responsibility for Finance and Site Management and the Curriculum and Pupil Welfare Committee which has responsibility for Curriculum and Pupil Welfare.  

Each committee meets three times per academic year, with extra-ordinary meetings convened if necessary.  

The Governing Body has an ‘open’ committee structure. This means that all committee agendas and minutes are circulated to all governors and all governors are welcome to attend the committee meetings even if they are not a member of that committee. All governors minutes are available upon request from the school office.

Governors are only expected to attend meetings of their own committee, therefore if the number of attendances at committee is shown as higher than expected; it indicates they have also attended meetings of the committee they are not a member of.
