Governance
Local Academy Board
Holy Trinity C.E. Primary Academy has retained its religious base and is part of Birmingham Diocesan Multi-Academy Trust (BDMAT). Every school within BDMAT has its own Local Academy Board. The Local Academy Board takes a keen interest in all aspects of school life and is responsible for the general oversight of the conduct and the curriculum of the school.
The Local Academy Board consists of:
- 8 Governors (appointed by BDMAT)
Other Governors include:
- two parents (elected by the parents)
- two members of staff – one is usually a teacher and the other is a support staff (elected by the staff)
- the Headteacher (if s/he opts to be a member of the Local Academy Board)
The Governors have an important job to do. They are involved in:
- deciding what is taught
- setting standards of behaviour
- monitoring attendance and punctuality
- interviewing and selecting staff
- deciding how the school budget is spent
- maintaining the school building
