Joint Local Governing Body

 

As Keeley Ungerechts is now executive headteacher over both Sowerby Primary Academy, Saplings Nursery and Alanbrooke Academy the Board of Trustees have agreed (26.04.2022) to create one joint local governing body(JLGB) over the 2 Academies. This will enable the governors to support Keeley in her executive head role and to have a greater understanding  to enable them to ensure that high expectations for all the children were being achieved.

The Joint Local Governing Body (‘JLGB’) of Sowerby Primary Academy and Alanbrooke Academy

Composition:

  • The Executive Head Teacher (‘EHT’)* or Head Teachers of the Academies that the board of Trustees have agreed should be paired under the Scheme of Delegation’s ‘Pairing LGBs’
  • 1 elected staff governor from each Academy
  • 2 elected parent governors from each Academy
  • 2 co opted governors from each Academy

 *If the EHT is no longer the EHT across the paired Academies the Trustees may at their discretion agree to either dissolve the JLGB (and each Academy will then have their own LGB) or they may be paired with another Academy dependent upon the appointment of the EHT.

 Elevate's local governing bodies exist to help their Academies provide a high quality education for children in a supportive, caring environment. This is done by:

  • setting the Academy's values, vision and strategic direction;
  • challenging and supporting the Academy by continually monitoring, reviewing and evaluating its performance;
  • ensuring that the Academy is accountable to its children, the local community, those who fund and maintain it and the staff it employs

The three core functions of the joint local governing body are:

  • To ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
  • To hold the Executive head teacher to account for the educational performance of the Academies and its children.
  • To oversee the financial performance of the Academies and make sure its money is well spent.

The JLGB:

  • Meet 5 times a year;
  • Governors will agree on the location for each meeting;
  • Every governor will take on a specific link role within the Academy.
  • Will visit each Academy once a term to carry out their link governor role.

 

 Minutes of our meetings are available from the office.

Types of Governors 

There are several different types of Governor:

  • Parent Governor

    Elected from parents at the Academy by parents at the Academy.

  • Staff Governor

    Elected from staff at the Academy by staff at the academy

  • Co-opted Governors

    Appointed by members of the Local Governing Body. They are intended to be representative of the local community and may add particular kinds of expertise.

  • Associate Member - Appointed by the governors to provide short term support in areas identified by the LGB. They have no voting rights and their term of office will be limited to 1 year.
