Governance
The principles of governance are the same in academies as in maintained schools, but the governing body has greater autonomy.
Academies are required to have at least two parent governors.
The governing body at Fishponds Church of England Academy is called the Local Board.
The Local Board reports directly to a Multi Academy Trust, which is called the Diocese of Bristol Academies Trust (DBAT) with the chair and Principal sitting on DBAT with the chairs and Principals of any other schools who are also part of the Trust.
DBAT is a sub committee of the main sponsor of the school, the Diocese of Bristol Academy Company (DoBAC).
