At Discovery Trust the Board of Trustees (sometimes known as the board of directors or governing body) is ultimately responsible for governance of the schools in the trust and is accountable for their performance. To support effective governance and oversight, the Board has delegated governance function to be carried out through committees, locally through each school Advisory Board and through the central executive team.
The Advisory Board has a range of responsibilities:
The Advisory Board consists of parents, staff and community representatives; the Headteacher is a member of the Advisory Board by virtue of their office. Community Members are appointed by the Advisory Board and are people, who in the opinion of the Advisory Board, have the skills required to contribute to the work of the board; Parent and staff members are elected to the board by the parent and staff body respectively.
Welcome to Redlands Community Primary School and “Hello” from the Advisory Board.
The Advisory Board works with the Headteacher and the Senior Leadership Team to provide support, advice and challenge. Our aim and focus is for children to be safe, achieve their full potential, interact with their local community and to be encouraged to be the very best they can be.
The Board meets several times per year and each member holds a lead area thus providing meaningful support and challenge when needed. The board acts as a critical friend to help Redlands be a great school for the community of Sileby.
Our Board comprises of elected parents, community members, the Headteacher and staff members to create a balance of perspectives to fulfil the board’s role.
The importance of the role of parents and carers in supporting children cannot be overstated. If we work together Redlands will continue to grow from strength to strength.
If you have any questions, please contact Simon Dalby, Chair of the Advisory Board at sdalby@dsatredlands.org
