Our School

Our Governors

Our Astley LGB constitution is x12 Governors made up of:-

x1 Headteacher
x1 Staff
x3 Parent Governors
x7 Trust Governors

Synergy Trust maintains control over finance, staffing and premises but has delegated many areas to LGB's which include election of governors and oversight of teaching and learning.

The LGB meets every half term. All business is transacted through the LGB where all major decisions are agreed. However, individual governors take on specific roles that cover both the statutory requirements and other areas that the governors have agreed should be monitored, which include:

Safeguarding
Health and Safety
SEND
Premises
Policies
