NIDDERDALE HIGH SCHOOL LOCAL GOVERNING BODY (LGB)

Nidderdale High School is part of Moorlands Learning Trust (MLT) multi-academy trust (MAT) and currently has 11 serving governors on the board.

The  Local Governing Board exists to help the school provide the best possible education for students. It does this by:

• Ensuring the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined
• Ensuring that the Headteacher performs her responsibilities for the educational performance of the school
• Ensuring the sound, proper and effective use of the school’s financial resources

During the last few years the roles and responsibilities of school governors have both increased and developed.

• Trustee Governors are appointed by the Moorlands Learning Trust Trustees
• Parent Governors are elected by the parents of students in school
• Co-opted Governors are appointed by the Local Governing Board
• Staff Governors are elected by the staff of the school
• The Headteacher holds an ex-officio position
• Associate Members are appointed by the Local Governing Board

The Headteacher and Local Governing Board work in close partnership. The Governors’ role is strategic and the Headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day operational management of the school. Once strategy has been agreed, the Headteacher organises and oversees the school, implementing the strategic framework established with the Local Governing Board.
