Governors
Ever thought of becoming a school governor?
We have a very dedicated and professional Governing Body.
Being a governor is a great opportunity to give something back, learn new skills and make a difference to our school. If you are interested in becoming a governor please contact either Alan Waller, chair of governors via the school or clerk to the governors - clerk@ckis.org.uk for more information.
Please visit our Financial Information page to find out more about our Articles of Association and our other Academy documents.
Diversity in the Governing Body
The governors of CKIS believe it is important that the board reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and pupils.
The governors are currently collecting data on the diversity of the board, including data on age, gender and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their recruitment and training needs and ensure there is a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making.
Due to our relatively small governing body we do not publish this diversity data online as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
