Chairs of Governors

Check out our new community website with lots of home learning activities and useful information. Visit www.transform-trust.co.uk

 

Chairs Forum

Each year our Chair of Governors nominate from their group a Chair for the Chairs’ Forum. The elected Chair becomes a Trustee for a period of 12 months.  This provides a link between the Board and the Chair of Governors.

“The Chairs’ Forum meets once a term, online for two hours.  It is well organised with a Chair, full agenda and minuted; with good attendance from the LGB chairs’.  The interviews indicated that it is valued by the chair.”

“The governing body provides effective support to the school. Governors are ambitious for the school. They have a good understanding of what the school does well and what it needs to do to be even better. They make regular visits to check on the school’s work towards meeting its priorities and they understand the importance of holding leaders to account.”
