School Champions

Within the Learners’ Trust Local Governing Bodies are referred to as ‘School Champions’. The term ‘Champions’ is apt, as a major function of these locally determined boards within the Learners’ Trust is to champion the needs of the children, school, staff and the local community that each individual school setting serves. School Champions also bring vital contextual knowledge to their role which supports them in their strategic function of being a ‘critical friend’ to the school. 

School champions meet several times a year and consider school information through headteacher reports and standard agendas based on school self evaluation. The school’s Trust Partner is a direct link back to the Trust board room so representation from the school is always present.

Below is a list of our current school champions.
