Becoming a Member
Any publically funded school or college can become a member of Learn Sheffield. The decision to become a member of Learn Sheffield must be taken by the Governing Body or Academy Trust. Becoming a member involves providing a guarantee up to the limit of £25.00 in the event that the company is wound up owing debts.
The Governing Body/Academy Trust must pass a resolution to join. The suggested wording of the resolution can be found in a briefing note for Governors, which is part of the Pack for Governors, along with a range of materials that Governors may want to use to support their decision making process. If you would like to discuss this further you can also contact our Chief Executive (Stephen.Betts@learnsheffield.co.uk)
Upon reaching a decision to join Learn Sheffield there is a Membership Application Form, which can also be found in the Pack for Governors, to complete and return to membership@learnsheffield.co.uk. We hope that every Sheffield school and college will support the work of Learn Sheffield and become a member.
In order to become a member the Governing Body needs to reach a decision about becoming a member of Learn Sheffield. Becoming a member involves providing a guarantee up to the limit of £25.00 in the event that the company is wound up owing debts. The Pack for Governors contains a range of materials that Governors may want to use to support their decision making process.
If the Governing Body/Academy Trust is so minded the following resolutions are recommended to be put to a vote (please note that for legal reasons the decision resolution must be noted in the minutes of the meeting using the form of words below):
a. The Governors/directors resolve that the Governing Body/Academy Trust should become a member of Learn Sheffield and provide a guarantee up to the limit of £25.00 in the event that the company is wound up owing debts.
b. That the Chair of Governors/Headteacher/other be given delegated authority to:
i. Undertake the necessary administrative steps to give effect to this resolution within [a reasonable period of time] [specified period of time];
ii. Attend general meetings of the company to represent the Governing Body as a member of the company;
iii. To provide the Company Secretary with contact details for the Governing Body member representative;
iv. To report back to the Governing Body/Academy Trust on the business conducted at members meetings;
v. To vote on matters affecting the company having first consulted with the Governing Body/Academy Trust.
Under the Education Act 2002 and associated regulations before a maintained school can join a schools’ company as a member it must have the consent of the Local Authority. Jayne Ludlam has already provided general consent to all the governing bodies of Sheffield maintained schools that have a delegated budget to join the company if they believe that this is the right step for them. Schools who require similar consent from other bodies, for example a Diocese, should consult that body as required.
