The Local Governing Body (LGB) of St James’ Primary Academy

The Local Governing Body meet in full at least six times a year. Governors are regular visitors to classrooms and have links with classes and key subject or responsibility leaders in the academy. The role of governors is to challenge, support and act as a critical friend to drive forward the strategic development of the academy, with similar guidance, challenge and support from the Trust Board.

A sub-committee meet as required to review decisions on staff pay.

The LGB members aim to encompass the academy’s mission statement in everything that they consider:

‘As a Church of England academy we aim to provide a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum for all our pupils, set firmly within the guiding principles of a Christian education. Each child is considered to be a unique person whose individual talents and potential must be fully developed. Everything in school is designed to promote the highest standards of spiritual, academic, moral and social education. We aim to provide an ethos in which pupils can learn and be safe and happy, as well as providing a firm and lasting foundation of knowledge and values to serve them as they grow up and take their place in the society of the twenty-first century’.
