Local Advocate Board (LAB)

Our Local Advocate Board works as a sub-committee of the ACE Strategic Board. They are volunteers who are elected or appointed by parents, staff or the Board to ensure we deliver successful outcomes for our pupils by:

 

  • scrutinising strategy at local level

  • providing vital monitoring and reporting on Trust strategy

  • monitoring local stakeholder voice

  • acting as a source of challenge and support to the Headteacher

  • they monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making both academically and within its community

 

They meet as a Local Advocate Board 4 times per academic year including the annual ACE Governance Conference. You can find out more about the work of Local Advocates, what their remit is and how this contributes to the governance of our schools across ACE by visiting their website or by reading the Scheme of Delegation
