Our Governing Body
Springwell Lincolnshire Governing Body
Springwell Lincolnshire joined Wellspring Academy Trust in April 2017 and is proud to be part of a wider community of schools serving local communities and their interests. There is a single governing body for all four schools within the Springwell Lincolnshire partnership, covering the alternative provision sites at Spalding, Grantham, Mablethorpe and Lincoln.
Our governing body has three key roles:
- in consultation with the Trust, we decide the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the Academy
- we hold the Executive Principal and her senior staff to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, helping to ensure that all of our pupils are given the opportunity to thrive, and
- we oversee the financial performance of the school to ensure that money is well spent.
Details of our current governors are set out below. Our governors have a wide range of background, skills and experience which they bring to the governing body and work closely with the Executive Principal and senior leaders, who are responsible for the running of the Academy. The Executive Principal is accountable to governors for how she does this and frequently reports and consults with governors about this.
Governors meet several times a year to look at all aspects of the life and work of the school. All of our governors are linked to one of our sites and visit regularly to ensure that things are working as they should and your child will recognise our governors from school celebrations. In addition, many of the governors are linked with specific aspects of school life and make regular reports to the rest of the governors.
If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a governor, please contact our Governance Professional, Melanie Gibbons, on 07729 105871 or by emailing her at m.gibbons@wellspringacademies.org.uk. We currently have vacancies for a parent governor and Trust-appointed governors.
