Our Local Advisory Board
Our school is part of Forward As One CE Multi Academy Trust; within the Trust’s Articles of Association and Scheme of Delegation, the Forward As One Trust Board is the decision-making body and is accountable and responsible for the Trust and its academies. Each academy and their school leadership team is supported by a Local Advisory Board (LAB).
Governors on our LAB deploy their expert knowledge of our school's local community to provide support and challenge to school leaders. Governors work closely with our Headteacher to ensure that the school remains deeply rooted in the needs of our pupils, families, and community.
