Local Governing Board
The Local Governing Board (LGB) of Magna Carta Primary Academy aims to continue to improve communication and links between Board members, staff, parents and children and it hopes that part of this aim will be met through regular news updates providing information on Board membership and activities.
The LGB is actively involved in all aspects of school life. It has a responsibility to ensure that all members of the school communities are safe and have equality of opportunity and it works with school staff to support schools’ improvement and monitor the impact.
Additionally, its key areas of governance responsibilities are:
- Achievement of Pupils
- Behaviour & Safety
- Effectiveness of Early Years
- Leadership & Management
- Quality of Teaching
LGB members are all volunteers and give up their skills, experience, and time for free, in order to help and support the schools. Some of our governors are parents and can regularly be seen on school runs. Please feel free to stop any one of them in the playgrounds (or anywhere else for that matter!) with any question you might have about the respective schools. You may also write to the LGB via BMAT Governance – governance@bmatrust.org.uk.
All requests relating to the Local Governing Board (incl for copies of its meetings’ minutes, etc) should be sent to the email address above.
