Great Wilbraham CE Primary joined the ACT Multi-Academy Trust on the 1st September 2023. A document called the Scheme of Delegation identifies who is accountable and responsible for what at all levels of governance within the Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). The day-to-day running of the school is the responsibility of the Executive Headteacher under the oversight of the MAT and LGB in line with the Scheme of Delegation.

Local Governing body (LGB) 

Our local governing body is a voluntary group of local people, who are appointed for four-year terms of office. Governors represent parents, the local community, the Church and staff. Each governor has provided a short introduction about themselves on the profile page.

The main responsibilities of the local governing body include monitoring standards, safeguarding, SEND and stakeholder engagement. We meet 6 times a year to discuss and review our delegated responsibilities and governors visit school regularly.

Governors have link roles which include monitoring progress made by the school team for each intent in the Academy Improvement Plan (AIP) and other areas including Safeguarding, SEND, Pupil Premium, Health & Safety and Sports Premium. Governors visit these areas at least termly. We also have our Foundation Committee. Their key task is to secure, develop and maintain the religious character of the school.
