Governance

Policies

The Village Academy offers generic policies for its schools, which are reflected on this website. The individuality of each school’s context means there may be occasions when a school needs to include appendices to the main policy document in line with its own context. As a Trust, we continually review all our policies. Please click HERE to go to our Policies page.

Strategic Management

As an Academy Trust, our Articles of Association determine our governance structure. For a copy of this and further information about the Trust's governance, including membership and attendance at governance meetings, please click HERE.

Further information relating to our local and Trust governance can also be seen on the DFE Website 'Get Information About Schools' (GIAS). Please click HERE

If you think you have the skill set to support us on our journey here at Dymchurch Primary School, please make an appointment to see our Executive Headteacher Mrs Deysel.

Local Governance

This school has a Local Governing Body (LGB), which comprises of the Executive Headteacher, a Headteacher from another school within the Trust and a number of non-Trustee members.

LGBs are chaired by one of its members. They provide local challenge to the Executive Headteacher using the published School Improvement Plan as a basis for their monitoring. 

Day-to-Day Management

The Executive Headteacher is responsible for day-to-day management of the school.
