RUNNING OF THE ACADEMY Clause Samples
The "Running of the Academy" clause defines the rules and responsibilities for the day-to-day management and operation of the academy. It typically outlines who is in charge of administrative decisions, how staff and resources are managed, and the procedures for maintaining educational standards. For example, it may specify the roles of the principal, governing body, or external management organizations in overseeing curriculum, admissions, and compliance with regulations. This clause ensures that there is a clear framework for the effective and consistent operation of the academy, minimizing confusion and disputes over authority and operational procedures.
