John King and Longwood Infant Academies share one local governing body with Kirkstead Junior Academy. As Flying High Partnership schools, our governors have delegated powers to govern on local matters, such as approving our overall school curriculum, monitoring attendance and behaviour, safeguarding, recruitment of new staff and agreeing our annual budget. Central governance is carried out by Flying High Partnership's board of trustees for matters that relate to all their schools, e.g., approving certain policies, school improvement plans and monitoring the quality of education. Our governors are valued volunteers who contribute their time, skills and experience to support effective decision making, strong financial management and delivery of our school improvement goals.
