Governors

As of 1st September 2024, Ryders Hayes School became part of the Primary Learning Trust, a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT), after transitioning from its previous status as a single-academy trust, which it had held since its formation in 2011.

​

Ryders Hayes Local Governing Body (LGB), plays a vital role in ensuring robust governance for the school. The LGB works closely with the School Leadership Team, focusing on Curriculum, Children, and Community and supporting the Board of Trustees' strategic direction. The Governors are committed to maintaining high educational standards, safeguarding, and promoting the well-being of all pupils.

​

Our Governors are dedicated to upholding the vision and values of Ryders Hayes School, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive.

​

We are very proud of our school as it provides a happy; caring, vibrant, innovative and forward-looking environment for all our children to ‘be the best that they can be.’

​

Ryders Hayes is a school rich in tradition, with a strong moral foundation and a reputation for delivering high-quality education. At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to the children we serve.

One of the underpinning principles of Ryders Hayes is ‘to nurture and facilitate the growth of our pupils and their learning; equipping them with the skills and attributes to embrace the challenges of a rapidly changing world. To enjoy success for today and be prepared for tomorrow.’ 

​

The structure of the current Trust Board ensures decisions and actions are closely monitored to ensure the interest of the children and staff are paramount. 

​

Responsibilities of our Governors includes:

• Setting suitable aims and objectives for the school.

• Monitoring and reviewing aims and objectives, and whether the policies, targets and priorities are being achieved.

• Acting as a 'critical friend' to the Senior Leaders of school by providing guidance, advice and support.

• Reviewing and adopting policies, targets and priorities

​

The Governors do not take forward individual concerns, the correct school procedures must be followed if parents/carers have any worries.

​

 Primary Learning Trust Board consists of: 

• A board of Members;

• A Full Board of Trustees (BOT);

• A LGB for each Academy within the Trust; 

• A Pay, Audit, Risk and Finance Committee (PARF).

• Admissions and Appeals Committees

​

The School LGB consists of 75% White British Governors and 25% Non White British Governors.
