The Board of Directors
The number of directors varies according to the size of the school or academy. Freemantle's directors are made up of:
- Staff directors ,
- Foundation directors (members appointed by the Church),
- Community directors ,
- Local Authority directors,
- Parent directors (normally parents or carers of children currently attending the school).
- In addition the centre director is a director
There are director vacancies at present. We are looking for directors who have specific skills in the finance sector to strengthen the board.
In addition to the appointment of senior staff, the roles of the directors centre around monitoring the standards children attain, the progress they make and the curriculum they are taught, the health and safety of pupils, staff and visitors and ensuring that the academy's finances are spent wisely and for the benefit of the children's education.
To ensure these areas are fully explored, the directors have established a number of committees and working groups and these meet regularly during the year. The full board of directors meets twice each term, receiving reports from the various groups, looking closely and specific areas, such as SATs results, and discussing a headteacher's statement at each meeting. The board of directors also tries to maintain close links with parents or carers and welcomes comments and questions from any parent or carer of children at the school.
