Governance at Heritage High School

Our Local Governance Committee is dedicated to supporting the scholars, staff, infrastructure at Heritage High School. The Local Governance Committee consists of volunteers who give their time and commitment freely. All our Governors are passionate about ensuring the best possible outcomes for every scholar.

The job of the Local Governance Committee is to support and challenge the School’s senior leadership team. They play an important role in supporting in raising achievement and enhancing the life choices of our scholars.

In addition, Governors support the vision and ethos of the Trust and School. Locally, Governors focus on strategic functions which are determined by Trustees of The Two Counties Trust Board and within the Governance Structure.

Part of the remit of the Local Governance Committee is to monitor data and challenge senior leaders to improve the provision for scholars.

Welcome from the Chair of Governors

On behalf of the whole Local Governing Committee I would like to welcome you. 

The Local Governing Committee consists of nine members, all from various parts of the local community and together with a wealth of experience. We offer support to the Headteacher and the Leadership team in strategic decisions made by the school and to help to shape the vision of the school to ensure that our scholars receive the best possible educational experience. 

Details of our meetings can be found in the Governors’ section of this website. 

Over the last few years we have overseen improvements in teaching, examination results and student behaviour and well-being. Our aim is that these improvements continue, and the school is judged to be good by OFSTED in the near future. 

We are an inclusive school and are very proud of the academic success of our students and will do everything we can to support scholars in developing their academic and vocational skills.
