Governance Structure
Our Governors provide strategic leadership and accountability in our school. Governors appoint the Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. It is governors who hold senior leaders to account for the performance of the school and, working with the Headteacher, make the sometimes difficult decisions about balancing resources.
ODST has a Board of Trustees which oversees the work of the Trust including the effectiveness of Local Governing Bodies. Our Local Governing Body meets up to six times a year. All of the governors attend these meetings. In addition, and a number of the governors will also attend the Resources sub-Committee which meets circa five times a year.
The Resources Committee ensures that the school uses its resources to achieve best value, thereby supporting the learning of all our students. This Committee is also responsible for Health and Safety, Premises and Staffing.
We have a number of vacancies on the board of Governors, if you are interested in becoming a governor, please see the Headteacher or contact the school office to make an appointment to meet with the Chair of Governors. Our governors come from different backgrounds and jobs and bring their skills and experiences to the Governing Body.
