Primary Governing Board

The Primary Governing Board (PGB) for Little Parndon Academy (LPA) & Roydon Primary Academy (RPA) was previously known as the Local Governing Board/s. The PGB aims to continue to improve communication and links between Board members, staff, parents and children and it hopes that part of this aim will be met through regular news updates providing information on Board membership and activities. The PGB is actively involved in all aspects of school life. It has a responsibility to ensure that all members of the school communities are safe and have equality of opportunity and it works with school staff to support schools’ improvement and monitor the impact of:

- Achievement of Pupils

- Effectiveness of Early Years

- Behaviour & Safety

- Leadership & Management

- Quality of Teaching

PGB members are all volunteers and give up their skills, experience, and time for free, in order to help and support the schools. A large proportion are parents and can regularly be seen on school runs. Please feel free to stop any one of them in the playgrounds (or anywhere else for that matter!) with any question you might have about the respective schools. You may also write to the PGB via BMAT Governance – governance@bmatrust.org.uk.

The list below gives a quick run-down of who's who on the new Primary Governing Board.
