Governance 

We strive to ensure that the academy serves its community by providing education of the highest quality in a supportive atmosphere based on the academy vision.

We meet regularly throughout the school year to support the academy in continuing to raise standards of achievement for all our pupils. Working together with the academy, we set and monitor development priorities and we act as critical friends to the principal and other staff.

Oak Academy is currently under a Performance Improvement Board (PIB) structure whilst the academy strives to maintain rapid improvement in all areas.  Membership of this board comprises of the Executive Team.

When the school is secure in its outcomes the governance model will transition to an Local Academy Board (LAB). At this stage the Executive Team step back whilst continuing to provide internal support and challenge. Recruitment of additional volunteer board members as required is undertaken prior to this transition to ensure capacity for local governance is in place.

The Board has a Link Trustee allocated to them ensuring communication and accountability is fed back to the Trustees directly as set out in the Authentic Education Scheme of Delegation.
