🧑‍⚖️ Governance

Cottesbrooke Infant & Nursery School is an academy school, governed by its own Board of Governors. The governors work in partnership with the Head Teacher and senior leaders to set the strategic direction of the school, ensure financial accountability, and uphold the highest standards of education and care.

As a state-funded academy, we are required to publish a number of documents that outline how the school is run, how funding is used, and how decisions are made.

Below, you’ll find key governance documents, including our:

  • Articles of Association

  • Funding Agreement

  • Academy Trust Handbook

  • Scheme of Delegation (Head Teacher’s delegated powers for finance)

  • Finance, Staffing & Audit Terms of Reference

  • Statutory Accounts

👉 These documents provide transparency about how the school operates and how public funds are used.

If you have any questions about governance at Cottesbrooke or would like to contact the Chair of Governors, please get in touch via the school office.
