Governance

At The Wisbech Academy (TWA), governance is currently provided by an Interim Executive Board (IEB). This board plays a key role during the early stages of the academy’s development, offering strategic oversight and supporting the school’s growth as it establishes strong foundations for the future.

The IEB operates as a committee of the Trust Board, meeting regularly to oversee school performance, safeguard values, and ensure effective systems are in place. The focus during this phase is closely aligned with the operational needs of a new and growing school—ensuring that structures, culture, and leadership are developing in line with the academy’s ambitions.

Working in partnership with the Principal, Director of Education, and Trust leaders, the IEB:

• Supports early strategic direction and growth
• Monitors progress against key milestones
• Ensures inclusive, safe, and high-quality provision for pupils
• Represents the wider interests of the school community

As the school becomes more established, the IEB will transition to a Local Governing Board (LGB)—ensuring that long-term governance reflects the school’s needs and continues to support its success.

Governance is a crucial part of the Trust’s mission to ensure no child is left behind, and that every student receives the best possible education and a ‘ticket for life’.
