In June 2016, Trinity Church School became an academy and joined the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership. It remains a Church of England school and the Diocese of Bath and Wells supported the school’s academy conversion and desire to join Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership. Trinity Church School has a joint Local Governing Body (LGB) with St. Mary's CE Primary School, Timsbury and and Executive Headteacher across both schools.

Our school governors have a wide range of responsibilities. They help to raise the standards of pupil achievement and plan the school’s future direction. The Governors are also accountable for the performance of the school to parents and the wider community.

The role of the school governor is demanding but very rewarding and is a good way to give back to your local community. School governing bodies are responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. Together with the headteacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management, they set the school’s aims and policies.

The key roles of governors are:
1. To ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
2. To hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
3. To oversee the financial performance of the school and make sure its money is well spent
