Academy Trustees
An academy trust is a charitable company set up to run an academy and is responsible for the strategic direction of the academy. Academy trusts have 2 layers of governance: the members of the trust and the board of Trustees. At Cawston Grange Primary School the board of Trustees meet at least 4 times a year. Some functions are delegated to the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee and the Pay committee. There may also be ad hoc working groups from time-to-time, like during the academy consultation and conversion process.
Members -The members are similar to shareholders and have ultimate control over the direction of the academy trust. They ensure the charitable company achieves its objectives, sign off the financial accounts and annual report, and appoint some of the trustees.
Trustees - The trustees are responsible for the 3 core strategic functions (strategic direction, holding school leaders to account for educational performance and overseeing the financial performance of the school).
Our trustees bring a wide range of skills and experience to the table ranging from accountancy to education to industry. The Trust Board comprises of the Headteacher, staff, parents and representatives of the community or people co-opted onto the Board because of a particular skill, e.g. finance. The term of office for governors is four years.

Simon Dean - Academy Trust Chair , Parent Governor Since moving to Cawston in June 2013 I have really come to value the community and feel it is a great place to live and bring up my young family. As a parent governor I currently have one child at the school but am hoping to have all 4 at the school in the coming years. I have run a Recruitment and Careers Company for the past 10 years and have been able to help and support over 5,000 people in to work and accredited learning during this time. As a genuine people person I am looking forward to my role as the governor responsible for engaging parents and the local community and I look forward to meeting with many more of you in the coming years. |
Glenn Garrett - Vice-Chair, Chair of Finance, Premises and Personnel Committee - Co-opted Governor I was elected as a co-opted governor in 2014 and work with my fellow governors to promote a school environment where all pupils receive the best education possible from the school. I have lived in Cawston since 2010 and am a father of two school age children. As a Chartered Accountant with over 20 years’ experience in the Gas and Electricity industry I have experience of a wide range of governance matters and helping to ensure that wise decisions are made. |

Mary Gill - Parent Governor I have lived in Cawston since 2013 but have lived in Rugby all my life. I have two sons, one of whom goes to the school and the other we hope will join him when he's old enough. I am a Business Analyst for a Professional Body, and have been a local Parish Councillor. I am the governor who looks particularly at how SEN pupils and those receiving the Pupil Premium are catered for to ensure they are able to achieve the very best they can. |
Noreen New - Support Staff Governor I have worked in education for over 20 years in various roles between EYFS and Year 6 and have been a Rugby Borough Councillor since 2005. I am also a trustee of the Fareham Youth Trust. My role as Child and Family Support lead gives me the opportunity to engage and support children and their families with a wide range of issues. I am also an Early Help Lead and work with external agencies to support families if they experience a crisis. I hope the experience I have gained through working with families, children and the wider community will enable me to support our staff and the governing body. |
