Local Advisory Board

There are various types of Local Advisory Board (LAB) members drawn from a number of different areas including parents, staff, Local Authority and Community.

The LAB are all volunteers who want to make a positive contribution to our children’s education. Together with the Headteacher, they set the future direction of the school and decide how the school’s budget should be spent.

The LAB makes collective decisions on matters such as the school’s development plan and school policies.

The official role of a member of the LAB is to:

• Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction

• Hold the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils

Categories of LAB members:

• Parent – elected by parents and carers of children at school

• Staff – elected by staff employed at school

• Co-opted – appointed by the LAB
