Local Governing Board
The purpose of the Local Governing Board (LGB) is to provide support and challenge to the school on behalf of the Trust Board. It does this through providing strategic direction at a local level, promoting high standards and educational achievement. The school, through the LGB, is accountable to the Trust Board.
At SFG we believe in developing and embedding a model of outstanding governance.
“The purpose of governance is to provide confident and strong strategic leadership which leads to robust accountability, oversight and assurance for educational and financial performance.” The DfE Governance Handbook (2019)
The Local Governing Board comprises of at least:
- The Headteacher,
- 2 Community Volunteers,
- 2 Parents/Carers,
- 1 School Staff,
- Any such members as the Directors appoint.
LGB Members hold office for a period of four years, and thereafter renewable on an annual basis. Any LGB Member can hold and vacate office in accordance with the terms of their appointment. LGB Members retiring at the end of their term of office are eligible for re-appointment at the discretion of the board which appointed them.
