LGB/Governors
Local Governing Board
As an Academy governance in the school is undertaken by a Local Governing Board (LGB) which is directly accountable to the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust and will report at least 6 times a year to their Board.
The main responsibilities of the LGB are:
- To establish the strategic direction of the school
- To ensure high standards of achievement for all pupils
- To maintain the Christian ethos and distinctiveness of the school
The majority of members are appointed by the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust, with the exception of 2 parent members and 1 staff member who are elected by their peers. The LGB chair is appointed by the Trust board, and the LGB elect a vice chair annually. The key skills and abilities sought of LGB members are:
- An ability and desire to set the Christian ethos within the school
- Analytical skills and the ability to understand and question written and numerical information
- The ability to establish good working relationships with all stakeholders including Board Members, DSAT, staff at all levels within school, parents and the wider community
- The ability to carry out monitoring and evaluation of the work of the school
- Strong communication skills including listening

The LGB as a whole is required to meet 6 times per year to receive a detailed report from the Headteacher and minutes of those meetings are sent to the Trust Board.
LGB members also aim to visit for up to a whole day 3 times a year to meet with children and staff to gain a fuller understanding of the work in school. Other meetings within school by LGB members have a focus on either 'Resources' or 'Teaching and Learning'.
