The Hadrian Academy governing body has a key role in monitoring the work of the school and ensuring that the leadership of the school is effective in ensuring that all children are making the best progress possible, that they are safe and that the academy has a clear strategic direction. As an academy governor we act as the critical friend to the headteacher and the senior leadership team, and provide support and challenge.
The Governing Body meets every half term and the Governor’s term of office is 4 years. No Governors have declared any relevant business and pecuniary interest.
Being a governor at Hadrian is both rewarding and fulfilling, we are always pleased to receive comments and observations from parents. In order to facilitate this, any of the governors can be contacted via the school.
We welcome enquiries about joining the governing body and are constantly looking for new governors to diversify our membership in terms of age, skills, life experience and ethnicity.
