Academy Committee
Wroughton Junior School is an academy and part of the multi academy trust Grove Learning Trust (GLT). GLT opened on 1st December 2019 and you can click this link to visit our trust website.
As an academy that is part of Grove Learning Trust, Wroughton Juniors has a local governing body which is overseen by the trust's Members and Directors.
Wroughton Juniors local governing body is called an Academy Committee.
Each academy within Grove Learning Trust has its own committee of local governors; this is called an Academy Committee.
Academy Committee governors are expected to champion and hold the school leadership team to account for its performance through effective support and challenge. They operate as one body, as a committee of the Board of Trustees, which is the trust's legal governing body. Each Academy Committee is accountable to the Board of Trustees directly and through the Board's committees - Standards, People & Culture (SPC) and Finance, Audit & Estates (FAU). The Academy Committee is drawn from members of staff, parents and co-opted members of the community and governors are appointed or elected after appropriate safer recruitment processes.
If you feel you can contribute something to the school and are interested in joining the Academy Committee, on a voluntary basis, please contact the governance professional for more information. Minutes from the Academy Committee meetings are available on request.
The Governance Professional can be contacted on: wroughtongovernors@grovelearningtrust.co.uk
