Local Governance

The Kemnal Academies Trust is a multi-academy trust with 45 special, primary, secondary and all through academies.

The Kemnal Board of Trustees ensure their accountability for the provision, standards and outcomes in every academy via the senior executive team and the Directors of Education.

Our Directors of Education play the lead role in supporting, challenging and holding to account our Headteachers and their school teams.

The Kemnal Board has established local governing bodies to help Directors of Education in their role, to support their local school and local community, and to provide local knowledge and insight.

Please visit our Trust website for more information about our governance.

Mission Statement

The Governing Body at Tangmere Primary Academy aims to support the Head Teacher and the school’s leaders in our joint mission of ensuring that every child can realise their full potential. This will be achieved with the help and co-operation of The Kemnal Academies Trust (TKAT) and the governing body within this wider context.

We will help to set the school’s vision and ethos. Together these will be used to determine the aims and objectives for the school now and in the future which will deliver consistent and improving standards of teaching and learning.

Our decisions and actions will always be in the best interests of the school and its pupils and we will always be prepared to explain our decisions openly and honestly to parents, staff, pupils and the wider community. We will strive to set the school at the centre of the community and reflect its changing, dynamic and diverse nature.

We will achieve this through both regular contact and dialogue with the school and parents, and by working closely with the school’s management team. We shall seek to ensure that the policies, priorities and performance targets are challenging and seek evidence to ensure that they are being achieved.

The governors will be both supportive and offer constructive help to the Head and the SLT and act as a ‘critical friend’ to help ensure they can fulfil their roles to the best of their abilities and help the school’s pupils be happy, safe and leave the school ready to face the challenges ahead of them.
