Academy Governance Committee

In This Section…

Welcome to Long Field Spencer Academy. We became an Academy on 1st September 2012. Since that time, we have taken every opportunity to keep the Academy under review, joining Spencer Academies Trust (SAT), on 1st May 2015. The benefits of our links with SAT are mutually advantageous for all parties; Governors, senior leaders and staff are linked with other secondary schools and primaries for sharing learning, school improvements and new government directives. Our students visit and are proud to be linked with other secondary schools.

The powers defining the legal relationship between Long Field Spencer Academy and The Spencer Academies Trust, together with the delegation of general powers within the trust, are set out in a document called the Scheme of Delegation.

  • The Scheme of Delegation used at Spencer Academies Trust can be found here.
  • A copy of other Trust governance documents are available here.

 

Message from the Chair of Governors

We welcome in-year applications from parents interested in visiting the school to find out if their child might benefit from studying at Long Field. We have welcomed some ‘new’ additions to our school community this year who will also be pleased to see you. We think you will be pleasantly surprised and inspired as are our students.

I would draw your attention to the feedback section on our website which you can access by clicking here. Alternatively, please contact me through the school on 01664 561234 or chairofgovernors@longfieldspencer.org.uk

I look forward to meeting many of the parents, students and friends of Long Field Spencer Academy during this next academic year.

Dean Williams

Chair of Governors

Governors envisage this being carried out through:

  • Constantly challenging all aspects of school life to ensure best practice is always prevalent.
  • Engaging parents in their child’s education
  • Ensuring that statutory responsibilities are enacted by agreeing policy and monitoring its implementation.
