Wren Academy Finchley Local Governing Body (LGB)
Wren is a sponsored Multi Academy Trust. Our main sponsor is the London Diocesan Board for Schools LDBS and our co-sponsor is Berkhamsted School. Together, sponsor representatives form a majority of members on the Finchley Local Governing Body.
The Governors focus on the continued development of Wren Academy Finchley with the following key roles:
- Scrutinising attainment and progress throughout the academy
- Monitoring the achievement of key strategic priorities
- Engaging with key stakeholders
- Offering the Academy Leadership Team challenge and support
Governors also carry out a range of other duties in the Academy such as serving on panels to consider parental concerns or attending student disciplinary hearings.
Our Governing Body is made up as follows:
- 6 Governors nominated by the LDBS
- 2 Governors nominated by Berkhamsted School
- 3 co-opted Governors (co-opted Governors are selected by the LGB itself)
- 2 Governors elected by parents (this Governor serves a three year term of office).
- 1 Governor elected by staff (this Governor serves a three year term of office).
The Principal serves as a Governor.
The Local Governing Body is also able to appoint Associate Governors according to need. These colleagues attend Governors' meetings but do not have voting rights.
