Our Governors
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
- Individuals who sit on local governing bodies (LGBs) are usually referred to as ‘local governors’
- Trustees delegate governance functions to the local level as per the Scheme of Delegation.
- LGBs only have such responsibilities as are delegated to them by trustees and as indicated in the Scheme of Delegation
- Trustees have complete discretion over what is delegated to each LGB
- MAT leadership and management comes from the MAT executive leaders; governance comes from trustees and (only as a last resort) from members.
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.

Link Governor Roles
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.
