Interim Executive Board (IEB)
Howard Community Academy is an Academy currently governed locally by an Interim Executive Board (IEB).
As an academy, the ‘Trustees’ are accountable for the quality of education being provided. The Trustees appoint people to serve on the Interim Executive Board to hold the local senior leadership team to account for standards and safeguarding. Through this, the Trust ensures strong local governance of each academy and retain a clear line of sight into the performance of each academy within its community.
The Interim Executive Board has a range of responsibilities including:
- supporting good governance of the school
- safeguarding and promoting the Trust’s values
- supporting the Head of School and being a critical friend
- monitoring achievement, quality teaching, behaviour and safety
- engaging with the school’s key stakeholders, for example parents/carers, pupils and staff
