Local governance matters in our Trust. It is what ensures our schools are rooted in their communities. For children, staff, and schools to flourish and succeed, governance at all levels of the Trust must be highly effective. 

Our governors work closely with staff to help children achieve their full potential in a happy, caring environment. Local governing committees collaborate with the Headteacher and senior leaders to ensure the school is running effectively and in the best interests of all pupils. 

Our governors are representatives of all the key groups involved in our school – parents, staff, the local community, the Trust, and the Church. Some governors are appointed, while others are elected, ensuring a wide range of voices and perspectives are included. 

Governors come from diverse backgrounds and bring with them a variety of skills that support the school’s strategic leadership. They work in partnership with the Headteacher and Rise Multi Academy Trust to guide and shape the direction of the school. 

As part of the wider Trust board, our governors have delegated responsibilities which include: 

• Promoting high standards of educational achievement 

• Monitor targets and progress 

• Monitor that schools are working to their vision and values 

• Ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs are able to thrive 

Local Arrangements

Tugby have a dedicated local governance committee. Largely advisory in nature, this committee is a de facto subcommittee of the trust board. Details of how this committee functions can be found in the terms of reference document below:

Local Governing Body

Governing Body Biographies

Alyson Rees

When I retired after a career as a teacher, headteacher and teacher trainer, I joined Tugby School's local governance committee and went on to become Chair of Governors. I see my role as supporting the School and Rise Multi Academy Trust in providing the school pupils with the highest quality education, enabling them to live life to the full. As a local resident, I support the school as an important part of the community, and help to foster the relationship and interactions that make this happen.
