Governance

Glebe Primary School

Glebe Primary School is part of United Learning Trust whose Trustees hold the ultimate legal responsibility for the governance of its schools. Further information about the governance of United Learning’s schools, including its Trustees and the scheme of delegation, can be found on the United Learning website: United Learning Governance

All United Learning schools have a local governing body (LGB); the Chair is appointed by the United Learning Group Board. Details of the Chair and members of Glebe Primary School's local governing body can be found below, together with any financial or business interests.

Dates of local governing body meetings and copies of minutes may be made available on request.

Governing Body

The role of a School Governor is demanding but very rewarding and is a good way to give back to your local community. Glebe’s Governing Body meet every half term and are responsible for working together with the school at a strategic level to ensure that it delivers a good quality education for all our pupils.

Observe and speak to our pupils in school in order to gain an understanding of the learning, behaviour and well-being of all our pupils
