Our Governors
Frome College, which is part of Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership, has a successful Local Governing Body made up of individuals who represent a broad spectrum of occupations and experience, bringing an invaluable contribution to the leadership of the school.
Their names, the offices they hold, and their business interests can be found below.
The governors serve a four-year term of office and play an important part in the strategic management of the school. The Local Governing Body works with and has delegated responsibilities from the Trust, in order to fulfil the three core purposes of governance which are:
- ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and
- overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.
The Local Governing Body is responsible for holding the College to account for matters relating to all aspects of education, finance and resources. Local governing bodies have clear Terms of Reference and a Scheme of Delegation which ensure strong accountability.
Caring about the college and its community is a pre-requisite to joining the governing body, and we are always looking to harness any skills and knowledge governors may have to benefit the strategic operation of the college and ultimately the education of our students.
The Local Governing Body is composed of parents and other local people with skills and experience in particular areas. Over the course of each academic year there are at least six meetings. During these meetings all aspects relating to the functioning of the school are scrutinised and challenged. The governors also have a role in engaging with all stakeholders in the school and wider community.
