Ranelagh Primary School is a finding member of the Tapscott Learning Trust.  We have an active Local Advisory Board (LAB), that acts as “a critical friend” to the school, providing strategic governance to ensure that all children receive the best possible education. The LAB meets as a whole group each term and delegates its business to a range of committees, where appropriate.

What do we do?

The LAB has an important part to play in raising school standards through its three key roles:

• Setting strategic direction
• Ensuring accountability
• Monitoring and evaluating school performance

We have responsibility together with the leadership team for agreeing the policies for the general running of the school. Our role is crucial: We fulfil statutory duties to ensure that the school is a safe, healthy and an inclusive environment We provide support and challenge to the leadership team of the school on all issues that affect the learning and welfare of our pupils

The LAB also focus on the wider social aspects of the school, including through the use of the lodge, and to develop strengthening participation in school sports, music and the arts. Parents can play an important role in supporting the LAB and staff by making sure that homework is completed and, wherever possible, your sons and daughters are provided with a place at home where this important aspect of their learning can be achieved.

We are legally required to disclose minutes from any of our governance meetings upon request. If you require any of these, please contact info@ttlt.academy and we will be happy to assist you with your query.

The Trust will make available for public inspection copies of agendas, minutes and reports for our meetings including the Trust Board and any of the LAB committees.  Please contact the Trust’s Company Secretary at info@ttlt.academy.
