On behalf of our entire school community; as Chair, I’d like to introduce you to the South Kirkby ASC.
Each school in Waterton Academy Trust has an Academy Standards Committee (ASC), previously known as the Governing Body, with powers defined by the Trust’s Scheme of Delegation. The ASC meets each term to review the school’s management and organisation and may form working groups to develop specific policies. Governors have designated areas of responsibility based on their skills and interests and work with school leaders to provide support and challenge. You can contact me via the school postal address: South Kirkby Academy, Stockingate, South Kirkby, West Yorkshire, WF9 3DP.
Louise Ward (Chair of the ASC)

Our ASC works tirelessly to ensure that our children have the education that they deserve, and is made up of a range of committed individuals who bring a range of skills and expertise to school.
How We Work
The ASC share school's vision and ethos and work alongside the Headteacher to develop school's strategic direction. The ASC also have a range of skills and knowledge in areas that greatly benefit school, and work in sub-committees to further develop our school. The ASC meet every term, but are also a constant presence in school and contribute to wider school life, such as assemblies, staff training, awards nights and learning walks.
Types of Governor
There are different types of Governor, all with different backgrounds, roles and responsibilities. A Community Governor is appointed by the ASC to represent the community, and does not need to have past education experience - but needs to passionate about the development of our school and community. A Parent Governor is elected onto the ASC by other parents from the school, and are usually parents of children in attendance at the school. A Staff Governor is elected by, and to represent staff.
