Local Governing Body
Governance is through the trustees of BEST and Local Governing Bodies (LGBs).
The board of trustees are responsible for the effective operation of BEST and each academy therein. LGBs are committees of the board.
St Christophers Academy's LGB operates to support and hold the Executive Principal to account for the performance of pupils and staff and to engage meaningfully with all parents/carers, enabling them to put forward their views at key points in their child’s education.
The make-up of our LGB is:
