Performance: Governors scrutinise the performance of management against agreed objectives, with a particular focus on the quality of provision and financial health.

Risk: Governors satisfy themselves that performance information is accurate, and that financial controls and systems of risk management are robust and defensible.

Resources: Governors ensure the College is financially solvent and makes efficient use of its publicly funded resources.

People: Governors are responsible for determining appropriate levels of remuneration for senior post-holders (senior members of the executive team and the governance professional), and for appointing and, where necessary, removing them.

External Governance Review

The Board commissioned Rockborn Management Consultants to carry out an External Review of Governance as part of its 2023/24 business calendar. The review was undertaken between January and April 2024 and outcomes were delivered to the Board on 2 May 2024.

The review took full account of the DfE guidance on External Reviews of Further Education Governance, published in May 2022.

The conclusion of the review was that the College has good governance arrangements in place with many key strengths.

An action plan is in place to consider the recommendations of the review, and many have already been addressed.

The next external governance review is due in the academic year 2026/27.
