Each school has a Local Advisory Board (LAB) that works closely with the Board of Trustees (the Board) of the Multi Academy Trust. The LAB comprises the Headteacher together with parent and co-opted advisors.

The LAB members at Broomfield Primary School meet four times per year to discuss a wide range of topics including the school curriculum, pupil attendance and outcomes as well as community engagement. In addition, the LAB members also play an active part in school life by attending events such as sports day, school trips, parents evenings and performances.

The Local Advisory Board key roles are to:-
• promote high standards and aim to ensure that students and pupils are attending a successful school which provides them with a good education and supports their well-being;
• be responsible to the Trustees for its actions and follow the expectations of advisors as laid down by the Trustees (Local Advisory Board Handbook);
• aim to establish that it is competent, accountable, independent and diverse that promotes best practice in governance;
• aim to ensure that its advisors promote and uphold high standards of conduct, probity and ethics

Advisory Board Members are recruited from:

· parents

Parent governors are elected by parents and are your representatives on the governing body. Many of our governors are also parents of children at the school but are appointed in a different capacity. If you wish to speak to a parent governor please leave your number at the school office and you will be contacted.
