Appointed Governor x 2 - Pebsham Primary Academy

We are seeking to appoint two new Governors to the Local Governing Body of Pebsham Primary Academy. Whilst meetings can take place virtually, Governors will need to be available to visit the school at least three times during the year during school hours.

Who we are

Pebsham Primary Academy is a one form entry primary school in Bexhill. It joined TKAT, a Multi-Academy Trust, in January 2014. The TKAT Board of Trustees has appointed a Local Governing Board which is responsible for ensuring the Academy’s long term vision reflects the needs of its community beyond current post holders and in line with TKAT’s vision and values.

The role

​We, the Governors, are a diverse group of people from a range of backgrounds, including education, human resource management, retail work, legal work and finance. We aim to use our skills to support the school so that we attain our vision of a school where every child can shine. We are not paid, but can claim expenses for some activities.

We meet as a Local Governing Body, independent of the TKAT Board of Directors, but accountable to TKAT for everything we do, and our main functions are to set the strategic direction for the Academy and to hold its leadership to account.

We visit the school regularly to monitor its progress and we ask challenging questions to ensure that the school is meeting the needs of all the children and providing an education that will enthuse and inspire them. We regularly speak to children, parents and staff to find out their views.

Being a school governor is a rewarding and fulfilling role; helping to provide a suitable, safe, and exciting environment for learning is critical to giving every child the chance they deserve.
