Governance
Rosebery School is part of GLF Schools, a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) of 43 Primary and Secondary schools. The governance structure of the Trust had been developed to support both the culture of GLF Schools and the effective management of a large organisation. GLF Schools recognises the individuality of each school and that each school has its own distinct character and culture that is respectful of its community and context.
The Trust Board has overall responsibility for the school and has delegated the responsibility to implement and review the school's strategic plans to the School Standards Board (SSB) for Rosebery.
The SSB has the following core responsibilities:
- Strategic oversight of the education provision of the School
- Strategic oversight of compliance of the School with Trust Policies
- Supporting the Trust Board to ensure good governance across the Trust
The Rosebery SSB is made up of eight members, comprising of voluntary members of the community, elected parent representatives, the Headteacher and one member of the GLF central team. Members serve four-year terms, for a maximum of three terms and parent elections will be called when a parent member either steps down or their maximum term of office is reached. Members hold twice termly board meetings, conduct monitoring visits and contribute to other working groups and committees within the school. Members also attend training to improve understanding of their role and to keep up to date in the ever-changing educational world. We contribute our knowledge, skills and experience to the school on a voluntary basis and we all consider it a privilege to be associated with Rosebery School.
