Rapid Improvement Group

About the RIG

As Bodmin College is an academy within the Cornwall Education Learning Trust (CELT) the local governing body would have formed a committee of the board of trustees.

To support and challenge the school to make rapid improvement the local governing body was replaced by a Rapid Improvement Group in 2023. The construton of the Rapid Improvement Group (RIG) and the pecuniary interests of its members are detailed in this document.

The Trustees have a right to appoint such persons to serve on the RIG to hold the local senior leadership team to account for standards and safeguarding. Through this, CELT ensures strong local governance of the school and retains a clear line of sight into the performance of the school within its community.

The Rapid Improvement Group has a range of responsibilities including:

  • Supporting good governance of the school
  • Safeguarding and promoting the Trust's values
  • Supporting the Headteacher and being a critical friend
  • Monitoring achievement, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety
  • Engaging with the school's key stakeholders, for example, parents/carers, pupils and staff

The RIG meets regularly and provides the support and challenge to the school to make rapid improvements. The RIG reports back to the board of trustees to ensure that all governance matters are addressed at a local level.
