Governance responsibilities are held between Aurora Academies Trust and the Local Academy Board.

The Local Academy Board (LAB) works in a similar way to a governing body and performs many of the same functions. The main difference is that the financial and legal responsibilities are held by Aurora Academies Trust Board. This allows the LAB members to be focused on the learning and progress of pupils and not be burdened by those additional responsibilities.

Joining the LAB: if you would like to become a parent or co-opted member of the LAB, then please contact the school at the email address shown above.
