Governors

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

Due to an ongoing review of governance, Schemes of Delegation and Terms of Reference for committees will not be updated until later in the Autumn term.

Cheney School has a Local Governing Body, chaired by Mr Richard Stamper, which is responsible for ensuring that the Cheney School is conducted in accordance with its ethos and values, overseeing the appointment and professional development of staff and setting and reviewing the school’s curriculum.

If you would like to contact the Chair please write to the Clerk to Governors at Cheney School, Cheney Lane, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7QH or email ash@cheney.oxon.sch.uk

There is also a Finance and Resources Committee which supports the Local Governing Body and Trustees in the management of school resources, considering and reviewing in detail school funding, expenditure and budget planning. The Committee refers major decisions to, and where appropriate, offers advice and recommendations to the Local Governing Body and Board of Trustees. The Academy Trust also has a Pay and Audit Committee that reviews decisions relating to pay progression.

If you interested in joining the Governing Body please contact Ms Shepherd, Clerk to the Governors, at ash@cheney.oxon.sch.uk for further information.
