This diagram illustrates our organisational structure and where the Local Governing Body fits in.

The Local Governing Body (LB) consists of up to 10 members and a governance professional (clerk).  Our staff, parent, community and associate governors work together with a common goal; to provide the best possible school environment and education for our children here in Sawley Infant & Nursery School.

Our Local Governing Body works with the headteacher and the ONE Academy Trust Board of Trustees to provide:

• strategic leadership

• accountability and assurance

• strategic engagement

We take pride in working to support the staff and children so that our school can provide a safe, caring and stimulating learning environment where every child can realise his or her potential.

We hold full governing body meetings at least four times during the school year. We also meet as and when required to engage with the school community, fulfil our monitoring role and support the school.     

We also keep a record of our business and pecuniary interests to ensure that potential conflicts of interest are clearly identified and managed appropriately.  Details of these can be found below.
