The role of the Governing body is to help shape the strategic direction of the schools within Excelsior MAT and to safeguard the public interest in these schools. As our role is strategic, we do not get involved in the day to day running of the schools - we ensure that they are accountable for decisions and actions taken. We oversee the maintaining of and improvement of standards of achievement within our schools. We are also responsible for ensuring that the schools' policies and administration meet statutory requirements and that our children are able to maximise the educational opportunities provided. We support the schools in it’s continuous drive to improve the already high standard of education provided to our children. We are the critical friend of the schools.
