Combined High School Governing Board

In 2024, a decision was made to merge the governing boards of Leek High School and Westwood College to ensure continuity, consistency, and fairness across both institutions. This resulted in the formation of a new Combined High School Governing Board.

The Combined Governing Board operates under delegated authority from the Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) Board. While the specific level of delegation is subject to negotiation, it typically encompasses key areas such as day-to-day operational oversight, student welfare, staffing (excluding the appointment of the Headteacher), and budget monitoring.

The governing body works in close partnership with the Heads of School at both Westwood College and Leek High School. Together with the Executive Headteacher and wider staff team, they are committed to delivering the highest possible standard of education and care for all students.
