Governing Body
DPA's Governing Body
Our Governing Body has 6 members in total, which consists of 2 parent, 1 staff, 2 co-opted and 1 Trust Governors.
Partners of the Trust nominate individuals to represent Trust partners, other governors are identified on eligibility and skill base. These nominees are considered against a set of appointment criteria which Governors have adopted and accepted as appropriate. Should there be more nominations than vacancies the Governing Body will hold a ballot to decide appointees.
Each governor is a volunteer. Once appointed they will serve for four years, after this time of service they can be re-elected, re-appointed or replaced.
Their job is to;
- Determine the strategic direction of the academy
- To monitor and evaluate the performance of the academy
- To ensure that the academy continues to succeed
