School Governance

Local Advisory Board (LAB)

At Windy Arbor Primary School, the Advisory board provides strategic direction, oversight and challenge that helps to shape the vision, values and long term priorities of the school. Our purpose is to support the school in delivering a safe, inclusive and ambitious learning environment where all pupils can thrive.

The Local advisory board are responsible for:

• Ensuring the school is operating within the ethos set out in our vision and values.
• Contributing to the key strategic priorities.
• Monitoring the quality of teaching and learning, attendance, behaviour and safety, within the school and progress against the school improvement plan.
• Deciding on how the resources of the school are best used.
• Ensuring that we are vigilant and compliant in respect of all safeguarding matters.
• Supporting the appointment of staff

Through informed decision-making and constructive challenge, governors help ensure the school remains forward thinking and focused on continuous improvement.
