Governance structure

Chellaston Infant and Junior Schools are two academies within East Midlands Education Trust.  We share a local governing body being accountable to the Trustees. Governors retain a considerable amount of delegated authority to make decisions affecting the day to day running of our schools.

The Local Governing Board (LGB)

The Local Governing Board support the vision of the Trust at a school-level and provide a monitoring role for standards specifically in relation to academic performance, quality of care and provision for the academies.  They play a support and challenge role, acting as a critical friend in ensuring the work of the academy to maintain and improve standards.  They make decisions in line with the Scheme of Delegation, delegated to it by the Trust Board.

Mrs Ann Witheford, Chair of the Governing Board can be contacted via the school office email admin@chellastonjunior.org with emails marked confidential and for the attention of Mrs A Witheford.
