Lime Tree Primary Academy is now part of Bright Futures Educational Trust.
The Trust’s Articles of Association, Delegation Framework and other governance documents can be found on Bright Futures’ website: https://www.bright-futures.co.uk/information/governance-documents/
Governance information listed below is currently being reviewed and updated.
The Governing Body is responsible for ensuring the school is run both efficiently and effectively by the Head of School and its staff, by playing the role of “critical friend”. The Body meets in full six times per academic year.
The Governors take a full and active role in the monitoring of the School Development Plan. Each Governor acts as a ‘Link Governor’ to a named member of staff and meets twice per year to focus on particular areas of the curriculum.
Each Governor is appointed or elected for a three-year term of office.
You can contact the Chair of Governors either via the school or email.
Local Governors
Effective governance is a key element of a successful academy. Local Governing Bodies act as a vital and critical friend to school leaders and staff. They provide the key and crucial connection to the community and to the Board of Trustees.
Mrs C. Larkin Head of School |
The Link Governor role is to provide a broader connection between the Governing Board and the school and prevent the Governing Board being solely reliant on information provided by the Headteacher. By supporting their particular area Link Governors help develop the understanding across the Governing Body to provide additional evidence and insight that enables the Governing Body to challenge information presented by the school and also support the school to meet its strategic objectives.
