Governance for Keresley Newland is provided through the Joint Local Governing Body which is shared with Keresley Grange Primary Academy.

The Joint Local Governing Body members are:

  • Mr Tom Ledgard – Chair, Careers
  • Mrs Cameo Shenton - Vice Chair - Parent Governor, Curriculum
  • Mrs Samantha Rooke – SEND and Pupil Premium
  • Mrs Carol Blair – Governor, Safeguarding Link
  • Miss Rachael Bradley - Parent Governor
  • Mrs Lesley Dyson - Staff Governor
  • Mrs Nicola Penlington - Headteacher across Keresley Grange and Keresley Newland

There are three levels of Governance:

Members, who agree articles which define the charitable purpose and how the MAT will run, appoint Trustees and remove if necessary, sign off company accounts and annual report and hold the Board of Trustees to account.

A Board of Trustees (Directors) who have ultimate responsibility for running each academy and will deal with the strategic running of the MAT. The Board delegates day-to-day running of each academy to a Local Governing Body (LGB). The level of delegation can be different for each academy. Accountability always remains with the Board of Trustees.

A Local Governing Body who have powers delegated by the Board of Trustees to oversee the day to day running of each academy.

Annual funding is allocated to each academy on an individual basis. The MAT is a single employer, sharing procurement and resources across the group.
