Governance at Reintegreat

At Reintegreat, we are proud to have a strong, well-informed Local Governing Body (LGB) who are deeply committed to the success of our school and the wellbeing of our learners. The Governing Body ensures that every student receives the best possible education, support, and opportunities to prepare them for the next stage of their lives.

​

The Role of the Governing Body

​

The Local Governing Body are the strategic leaders of our school. They bring together professional expertise and community links, providing both challenge and support to the Leadership Team.

The Governing Body has statutory responsibility for the school and works to ensure that our vision and values are upheld at all times. Their role is not to manage the day-to-day running of the school but to provide oversight, accountability, and long-term strategic direction.
 

Membership
 

The Local Governing Body is chaired by Bill Lynas and includes:
 

• Headteachers and leaders from local secondary schools

• Representatives from the Local Authority

• A parent representative who brings the valuable perspective of families into our governance
   

This combination of expertise ensures that our Governing Body is both professional and community-focused.
 

Core Strategic Functions
 

The Local Governing Body is committed to the principles of continuous school improvement. Their work focuses on three key functions:
 

1. Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos, and strategic direction

   • Setting the long-term aims of the school and monitoring progress against them.
      

2. Providing challenge and support to the Headteacher

   • Scrutinising the school’s educational performance, standards of behaviour, safeguarding, and staff performance.

   • Acting as a “critical friend” to the Leadership Team to ensure accountability and improvement.
      

3. Overseeing financial performance

   • Monitoring the school’s budget to ensure resources are well managed and money is spent effectively to benefit learners.
      

Ways of Working
 

• The Governing Body meets regularly throughout the school year to review progress and set priorities.

• The Key School Governance platform is used to communicate effectively and share information between meetings.

• Governors are actively involved in the life of the school, regularly visiting both of our sites to engage with staff, learners, and the wider school community.
   

Our Commitment
 

The Local Governing Body of Reintegreat is committed to ensuring that the school continues to grow, improve, and provide the highest standard of education and support for all learners. Through their expertise, dedication, and oversight, they play a vital role in helping Reintegreat achieve its vision of giving every student the opportunity to succeed.
