Governors

On the 1^st February 2018, the Federation joined The Lighthouse Schools Partnership Multi Academy Trust. We are part of the ‘Backwell Hub’, along with Backwell Secondary School and will shortly be joined by five other local primary schools in the forthcoming months.

The Lighthouse Trust Partnership will provide structure and support to all its members; particularly through finance, HR, Estates and IT systems. It will also enable staff to share knowledge and support. Each school will retain its own ethos and identity. The Leadership team at the Federation remains the same, with the autonomy to continue to manage its school.

The Governors of the Federation will continue to work closely with the teaching staff to:

1) Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction,

2) Hold the Executive Head Teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance of the staff,

3) Oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

The Federation is continuing to thrive, achieving excellent academic results as well as offering more extra curricular clubs for pupils to choose from.

If you have suggestions / comments about any aspects of the schools, we are always interested in hearing from you. Contact can be via either school.

Please also consider if you would like to give some time to serve on the Governing Body.

If you wish to know more, or have any questions or concerns, please use the email below to contact me

Thank you.
