Academy Governing Body

Governance at Huntingdon Academy

Huntingdon Academy is proud to be part of L.E.A.D. Academy Trust, which provides strong leadership, accountability and oversight to ensure the highest standards of education.

Our governance structure operates at three levels: Trust Members, the Trust Board and its Committees and our Academy Governing Body (AGB).

Our Academy Governing Body plays a vital role in supporting and challenging school leaders, ensuring that decisions are made in the best interests of our pupils and wider school community.

Governors meet formally three times a year, alongside termly engagement meetings, to monitor progress, celebrate achievements and contribute to the continued success of Huntingdon Academy.

Transparency, accountability and a shared commitment to excellence underpin our approach to governance.

Further information about governance responsibilities can be found in the Trust’s Scheme of Delegation, AGB Terms of Reference and Articles of Association, available through the links below.
