Prior to January 2024, the school had a Rapid Improvement Group in place of a Local Governing Body.  This was made up of Trust Leads, Trustees and Local Headteachers to secure rapid improvement within the school. As a result of the rapid and sustained improvements, the school has launched a full local governing body with the support of the Trust.  Several members of the original RIG asked to remain as part of the local governing body and some members were redeployed into other schools.
