Governance

Cedars Upper School joined the Chiltern Learning Trust (the Trust) on 1^st June 2018.

CLT governance is through a Board of Trustees and school-level Local Governing Bodies (LGBs).

The role of the LGB, which meets twice a term, is to:

• implement and administer the Trust's policies at local level and report termly to the Board of Trustees
• monitor and be accountable for the performance and standards of the school to Ofsted
• govern exclusions in accordance with appropriate regulations
• consider budget monitoring information and proposals
• act as a critical friend to the Headteacher
• represent the views of the community.

Our Local Governing Body structure falls in line with the structure set out in the scheme of delegation and comprises of: 

• The Headteacher

• Chair 

• Vice Chair 

• Community governors

• Parent governors 

• Staff governor 

• Co-opted governors

We are very fortunate to have wide range of skills and expertise within our local governing body and a group of people who are passionate about serving their community and obtaining the absolute best for every child.

Our governors provide an exceptional level of challenge and support to our school on a voluntary basis with the sole ambition of raising standards and achievement.

 The Governing Bodies for both Linslade School and Cedars School have now joined together to become one Board of Governors. The Chair of Governors will be Elaine Rabbitt with Emily Wilding as Vice Chair.

You can contact the Chair of the LGB via the School Office or  via post at:
