The LGB is responsible for holding the Headteacher and senior leadership of the school to account and for providing assurance to the Trust Board. They also support the Headteacher and executive team of their school to undertake their local leadership role as well as acting as a group to reflect the needs and views of the local community in which the school operates.
The LGB meets half termly, 6 times per year. Governors can also act as designated leads on key issues such as Safeguarding and SEND and may be asked to undertake school visits to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the school and its curriculum.
School visits will help governors to understand more about their school and the reality of school life.
All governors are unpaid volunteers and are drawn from a wide variety of different backgrounds - those with experience at board level, but also those with early skills (where training can be offered) who wish to explore board leadership and develop their skills further. Becoming a school governor requires drive and commitment however there are many professional and personal rewards. We welcome applications from individuals who can bring a wide range of skills to the current LGB’s including expertise from their professional lives, educational and non-educational. looking to appoint two Community Governors.
