Jim Knight The composition of each academy governing body is described in its memorandum and articles. However, as the academy trust is able to co-opt additional members, the precise composition of each governing body at any point in time is not known by the Department, and we are unable to say how many local authority governors there are, or what proportion they represent of academy governing bodies. While the size and precise composition of an academy governing body is not prescribed by the Department, like other state-funded schools, academies have stakeholder governors. Departmental policy is that each academy should have a local authority appointed governor and a parent governor. Academy governing bodies may also include the Academy principal (as an ex-officio member), a teacher governor (either elected or appointed); a staff governor (either elected or appointed), and may include community representatives.
