Academy Advisory Body

Welcome to our Governors’ section.

Rowena Academy has an Academy Advisory Body. The members are a team of people dedicated to providing the best education possible for our children. The Academy Advisory Board (AAB) plays a key role in the life of the academy and is responsible for scrutinising the work of the Academy Senior Leadership Team in the following areas:

  • Standards
  • Behaviour and attendance
  • Safeguarding
  • SEND/LAC/disadvantaged
  • Health, safety and site
  • Finance compliance and value for money
  • Community engagement.

This page contains details of our Academy Advisory Body (AAB) structure and remit.

“The governing body is extremely well led and organised. It is very well informed through high quality reports from the principal and other staff members. The governors systematically check on all aspects of the academy’s work.”
