The role of a Local Advisory Board (LAB) is an important one. The Local Advisory Board monitors each academy’s key performance indicators and acts as a critical friend to the Headteacher and the academy’s senior leadership team, providing challenge where appropriate. Its role is to provide focused governance for the academy at a local level. This section will tell you who the members of the Local Advisory Board are, how they are appointed and elected, what they do, what their legal duties are and how you can contact them or seek to get involved as a board member yourself.
What does the Local Advisory Board do?
The Local Advisory Board are a very important part of the school. They meet regularly and work alongside the academy’s Leadership Team to maintain the successful running of the school and drive school improvement work. The LAB holds the school to account, and monitors the effectiveness of its practice, vision and aims throughout the year. The board both supports and challenges the leadership team.
The main responsibilities of our school’s Local Advisory Board are:
How are members of the Local Advisory Board elected or appointed?
There are a number of different routes onto the Local Advisory Board. At Plympton St. Maurice Primary the board is made up of:
All members of the LAB (except the Head Teacher) serve a four-year term, which will be renewable subject to the post-holder meeting the required criteria. When a parent governor’s term ends, an announcement is made about an election and all parents or carers of pupils at the school are eligible to stand.
The chair and vice-chair of the Local Advisory Board are elected by the board at its first meeting of each school year. The current chair of the LAB is Mr Tony Rose.
How is the work of the Local Advisory Board organised?
The Local Advisory Board meet six times in each academic year. During these meetings a number of key areas are covered which include: academy improvement, teaching and learning, the learning environment and governance development.
Minutes of Local Advisory Board meetings are made available once they have been approved. These can be obtained upon request from the school office.
