Governance at Sir Martin Frobisher

Currently at Sir Martin Frobisher Academy, an Intervention Board is in place. An Intervention Board is a small group of committed people who are working with the school leadership to support and challenge – this helps improve our school as quickly as possible.

REAch2 has chosen a group made up of Trust leaders, the Executive Headteacher, and professionals with expertise. One of these is Mr Gordon Dewar, who is currently Chair of the Board at Sir Martin Frobisher Academy.

The Intervention Board has terms of reference which guide how it works. These can be found on the Governance page of our website and also on the REAch2 website www.reach2.org/governance The governance page also includes details of the members of the Board. The Board will meet twice a term, as a minimum, to discuss educational progress and achievement, financial stability and issues such as safeguarding, premises, IT and staffing. Members will also have a linked areas in the school, such as safeguarding or finance to make sure they understand how the school is being run and also to make sure that all the legal compliance is in order.

The Board is supported by a clerk.

We are in the process of appointing a local governing body. The Board will hand over responsibility to the local governing body who will take up future support and challenge.

If you have any further questions about the Intervention Board and how it works, please email the Senior Governance Advisor at [email protected]
