Governance at Springwell Community College

Our College Governing Board is dedicated to supporting the students, staff, infrastructure at Springwell Community College. The College Governing Board consists of volunteers who give their time and commitment freely. All our Governors are passionate about ensuring the best possible outcomes for every student.

The job of the College Governing Board is to support and challenge the College’s senior leadership team. They play an important role in supporting in raising achievement and enhancing the life choices of our students.

In addition, College Governors support the vision and ethos of the Trust and College. Locally, Governors focus on strategic functions which are determined by Trustees of The Two Counties Trust Board and within the Governance Structure.

Part of the remit of College Governors is to monitor data and challenge senior leaders to improve the provision for students.

Welcome from the Chair of Governors

The Governing Body consists of thirteen members, all from various parts of the local community and together we help to shape the vision of the college. Our work is judged by Ofsted and it’s our responsibility to hold the Headteacher and teaching team to account. All details of our meetings can be found in the Governors’ section of this website.

Over the last few years we have overseen considerable improvements in teaching, examination results and student behaviour and well-being. Our aim is that these improvements continue and the college is judged to be good by OFSTED in the near future.

We are involved in all aspects of college life including the excellent student group, Students Matter, and the Parents’ Forum to which all parents and carers are invited. We hope to see you at many of the college events throughout the year.
