Nunthorpe School Committee

Nunthorpe Academy works very closely with its School Committee. This group of individuals, who have a very wide range of backgrounds, offers both support and high levels of challenge to the Headteacher and the Leadership Team, ensuring that standards across the school are constantly being raised.

As an academy within Areté Learning Trust, which has within the governance structure, School Committees as sub-committees of the Board of Trustees, the role of our School Committee is clear.

The terms of reference for the committee include realising the Trust’s vision, values, policies and priorities, providing internal assurance/risk management, developing the local community and employer links and focusing primarily on the core areas of the effectiveness of leadership and management in the school, the quality of teaching, learning and assessment, students’ personal development, behaviour, safeguarding, well-being and progress.

Our School Committee question, challenge and support our school leaders. Details of specific responsibilities delegated by the Board are set out in the Scheme of Delegation and its appendix which can be found on the Trust Website
