Academy Committee / Governors

Shaw Ridge Primary School is part a multi academy trust called Grove Learning Trust.  Please click here to visit Grove Learning Trust’s Website.  

As an academy that is part of Grove Learning Trust, Shaw Ridge Primary School has an academy committee made up of staff, parents and people from the community which is overseen by the Trust’s members and trustees.  

Academy Committee governors are expected to champion and hold the 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 through the Board's committees - Resources, Audit and Risk (RAR) and Standards & Performance (S&P). Governors are appointed by the Academy Committee after appropriate elections or recruitment processes.
