ASEC/Governors
Academy Standards and Ethos Committee
As an Academy governance in the school is undertaken by an Academy Standards and Ethos Committee (ASEC) which is directly accountable to the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust and will report at least 6 times a year to their Board.
The main responsibilities of the ASEC are:
- To establish the strategic direction of the school
- To ensure high standards of achievement for all pupils
- To maintain the Christian ethos and distinctiveness of the school
The majority of members are appointed by the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust, with the exception of 2 parent members and 1 staff member who are elected by their peers. The ASEC chair is appointed by the Trust board, and the ASEC elect a vice chair annually. The key skills and abilities sought of ASEC members are:
