Governance

South Bank Academies and its schools are governed by a Board of Trustees.  The Board is responsible for the Academy Trust and is accountable to the Secretary of State for its performance.  

To support the Board in this role, the Board has established several committees: 

• Audit committee which is responsible for monitoring internal controls and risk management within the trust.  The Chair of the audit committee is Richard Flatman
• Remuneration Committee which is responsible for reviewing executive pay decisions and the trust’s pay policy.  The Chair of the remuneration committee is Hilary McCallion

The Board has established School Advisory Boards to provide local governance for each school.  Governors are elected from the parent and staff bodies and invited from members of the local community.  

Each School Advisory Board appoints link governors who are responsible for the areas of delegated responsibility (see Scheme of Delegation document below): Pupil Premium, Special Education Needs (SEN), Curriculum, Employment Engagement, Safeguarding, and Parental/Community Engagement. 

The School Advisory Boards meet six times during the academic year. In addition, the link governors make a minimum of two school visits in an academic year.
