Governance

As is the case with all multi academy trusts the legal responsibility for governance of the Trust and its schools sits with the Members and the Board of Directors (trustees).  It is for the Board to decide how and to what level it wishes to delegate any responsibility to a local body or committee. 

The trust has in place several groups to ensure that there is a strong link between the Board and its schools or academies. 

A School Performance Board (SPB) oversees and scrutinises the quality of education at Filton Avenue Primary School and this group reports to the main board through its committee structure. 

The School Performance Board at FAPS is chaired by Peter Overton The SPB is clerked by Stacey Belsten. If you wish to contact the chair please do so via the school office by 0117 903 0302 or emailing [email protected], C/o Filton Avenue Primary School, Lockleaze Road, Bristol, BS7 9RP.

Amplify Education fully supports the importance of local governance of schools and academies – outstanding schools have outstanding governance and leadership.

Key information and policies can be found here

The establishment of a School Performance Board to fully support day to day leadership is a cornerstone of our approach to improving schools. Governors are valued members of the TiL network and have the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of young people through education.

Amplify Education will fully support the School Performance Board to establish strong, effective and knowledgeable governance and use its wider resources to help provide additional governance where this is sought or needed.

As a group of schools working together ‘governor learning’ is seen as an important aspect of our work and our commitment to our schools and cross-school professional development for governors is a regular feature of our work together.

For further information about our members and directors please see the link:  Governance within Amplify Education.
