Structure of the Governing Body

Since September 2023 we have been in a formal federation with Hornby St Margaret’s, known as the Lune Valley Federation of Leck St Peter’s and Hornby St Margaret’s CE Primary Schools.

We can have a total of 14 governors; this is laid down in our “Instrument of Government” which is the legal basis of any school governing body.
We must have a majority of “Foundation Governors”: these are governors nominated by either the Parochial Church Council, or from the Blackburn Diocesan Board of Education. In our case, we have 8 Foundation Governors, which includes 2 ex-officio members. There are two elected “Parent Governors” (one from each school). There is one representative nominated from the LA. Finally there is a staff representative and a clerk. We also have a co-opted governor. The Headteacher has the option of joining the governing body and our head has elected to serve. Governors normally serve for a period of 4 years.

The school governors meet once a term for a Full Governing Body meeting and in between for sub committees that discuss the strategic development of both schools including the school curriculum, the upkeep and development of the school building and grounds, the school budget and finances as well as staffing issues.

Below is the list of governors, their designation and term of office end date.
