Our Governors
With effect from 1st September 2017, The Billericay School has ceased to be a stand-alone academy and has now formed “Compass Education Trust ”along with The Appleton School in Benfleet, Bromfords School in Wickford and Woodlands School in Basildon.
Further details on how the Trust is governed and managed can be found in its annual report on compasstrust.org.
Each individual school within the trust has a local governing body, which monitors standards and pupil outcomes and makes recommendations to the Trust Board. The local governors also approve and monitor the school’s budget.
The local governing body for The Billericay School is constituted by members of our local community and includes elected parent governors and staff governors.
Details of Trustees and Members of The Compass Education Trust can be found via the following link:
