Role of the Academy Governance Committee
Local governing bodies, who are called Academy Governance Committees (AGCs) in our Trust, are committees to which the Directors have chosen to delegate some specific responsibilities. AGCs engage with their local community and carry out the following very valuable role.
There are 2 key elements to the role of AGCs:
Vision and Values:
- Help the academy set and review their local, contextual vision and values, aligned with the Trust’s vision.
- Monitor and support the academy to ensure the vision is being ‘lived out’ in every aspect of academy life.
- Preserve and further develop relationships with the community, and in particular with the church, in line with the academy’s and Trust’s vision and values.
Delegated functions:
- Carry out functions which have been specifically delegated to them as formal committees of the Board.

I have lived in Braunston for many years and my children attended Braunston school.
I have now retired from teaching in a city Primary School and have enjoyed the opportunity to be a volunteer at Braunston School, listening to children read. Having a daughter with a disability, I have particular interest in supporting children with SEND to remain in their local mainstream school whenever this is appropriate.
I enjoy spending my time

I live in Rugby and visit Braunston School weekly with my Pets as Therapy dog - Hamish.
I was previously a teacher and have always volunteered in education during the time my two boys were at school.
I love socialising with friends and family. I also play in a local band and enjoy regular exercise classes. Alongside this I also volunteer for the Guide Dogs, which is where Hamish started his journey.

Parent Governor - Plus specific areas of Equalities and GDPR
Both my children attend or have attended Braunston School: they have flourished here. As a church governor, I hope to be able to have a small part in ensuring that all pupils flourish at Braunston School too.
I have been a teacher for the past twenty years, working at a secondary school in Rugby mainly teaching English. I am currently working in schools as the director of the Coventry and Central Warwickshire Teaching School Hub, which provides training for teachers across the region. I hope that my experience of the education system will also be beneficial to my role of governor at the school.

My Key Areas of Responsibility
Parent Governor - Plus specific area of Training, Admissions and Appeals & Curriculum Monitoring
I have lived in Braunston for 7 years and really enjoy the community spirit in and around the village. I work in a further education college as a business teacher and assist with an outreach project for the University of Northampton which aims to encourage students into higher education. My two daughters are in Years 2 & 3 at Braunston Primary School and are thoroughly enjoying their time here.

Sarah ManningParent Governor
Sarah Manning
Although I no longer live in Braunston, I still have strong family links to the village and as a family, we still enjoy taking part in local village events. My son is getting ready to move into Key Stage 2 and loves coming to school every day. He not only enjoys his learning but also the extra-curricular activities that the school offers. I currently work in Children and Family Support Services within Northamptonshire Children’s Trust and have previously been a primary school teacher and a qualified SENCO. I am looking forward to bringing these skills and knowledge to my role as a parent governor.
