Policies and Governance

Governance

The School’s responsibilities and its governance arrangements are set out in its Funding Agreement with the Department for Education and its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Governors

The constitutional role of the School Governors is both that of Charity Trustees and also Company Directors. Broadly speaking the Governors ensure that the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the School is clearly defined, that the Principal performs their responsibilities for the educational performance of the School, and that there is a sound, proper and effective use of the School’s financial and other resources. This is achieved through the termly Board of Governors meetings and five main committees:

– Resources.

– Pastoral.

– Teaching and Learning.

– Audit and Risk.

– Staffing and Personnel.

The current Governors, who are also Trustees and Directors, can be found on the ‘Our Team‘ page.

To contact the Chair of Governors please email chairofgovernors@uobschool.org.uk or write c/o University of Birmingham School, 12 Weoley Park Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham, B29 6QU.
