Our Governors

Acre Hall Primary School is part of Bright Futures Educational Trust.

The Trust’s Articles of Association, Delegation Framework and other governance documents can be found here on Bright Futures’ website: http://bright-futures.co.uk/information/governance-documents/

he Local Governing Body (LGB) is responsible for ensuring the school is run both efficiently and effectively by the Principal and staff, by playing the role of “critical friend”. The LGB meets at least 3 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 throughout the academic year to focus on strategic priorities.

Each Governor is appointed or elected for a four-year term of office.

If you have any queries for the governing body, please email admin@ahps.bright-futures.co.uk

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 Principal. Link governors are appointed to lead on specific strategic areas of school improvement and ensure all members of the board remain informed and retain effective oversight.
