EPA Local Governing Body
The governors have an essential role to play in support of their academies. They are fully involved in the academy’s strategic management and every part of academy life. It is their task to ask questions and seek convincing answers. They act as an important link between the community, the school and the Trust.
Our governing body is working tirelessly to ensure that the academy has everything and more to deliver the very best education for all the pupils. We are committed to providing the greatest care and our governors support the academy to make sure standards and achievement in all areas are always high.
Eastbrook has up to 12 Governor positions consisting of a maximum of 4 Trust Governors, 3 Staff, 2 Parents, and 3 Co-Opted Governors. The full governing body meets 9 times during the academic year.
