Priority Education Review Board

The Kairos Academy Priority Education Review Board has been appointed by the Board of Trustees of the YES Trust. Their role is to oversee the work of the school and ensure that pupils are getting the best possible education experience that they can. They play a critical friend role to the Senior Leaders, challenging them to ensure the best outcomes for pupils are being achieved, but also supporting them and the school, and being part of The Kairos Academy community.

The PERB’s role is to provide focused oversight, challenge and support on the quality of education within the school. Its core purpose is to secure high educational standards by reviewing performance, monitoring  and supporting improvement and ensuring that the school is in alignment with the Trust’s strategic delivery plan. In doing so, the PERB provides assurance to the Board of Trustees, ultimately strengthening governance by helping the Trust Board fulfil its responsibility for educational standards.

All aspects of safeguarding, school improvement, finance, HR, H&S and strategic leadership are discussed at meetings, with the PERB playing a pivotal role in ensuring that the Trust delivers high-quality, inclusive education.

Minutes from all of the PERB meetings will be posted here.
