Coworth Flexlands School is a part of United Learning whose Trustees hold the ultimate responsibility for the governance of each United Learning School.
The Department of Education's governance handbook 2019 identifies the essentials of effective governance as follows:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Holding the executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and
- Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.here to United Learning's Trustees delegate certain key roles and responsibilities to the school's Local Governing Body (LGB) and these are set out clearly in our Scheme of Delegation which can be seen on the United Learning website.
