Management Committee Roles and Responsibilities
The management committee of Ashley College is made up of volunteers who work together to have a positive impact on the attainment of the pupils in the school. These volunteers are drawn from parents of pupils at the school, teaching and support staff, members of the community and those nominated by the Local Authority
The purpose of the Management Committee in line with government guidance is to provide confident, strategic leadership and to create robust accountability, oversight and assurance for the educational and financial performance of the school. The management committee meets termly, with extra meetings convened if required.
Its three core functions are:-
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Holding school leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school, and making sure its funding is well spent.
