Local Academy Board

Hawkesley Church Primary Academy has retained its religious base and is part of Birmingham Diocesan Multi-Academy Trust (BDMAT). Every school within BDMAT has its own Local Academy Board. The Local Academy Board takes a keen interest in all aspects of school life and is responsible for the general oversight of the conduct and the curriculum of the school.

The Local Academy Board consists of:

• 8 Governors (appointed by BDMAT)

Other Governors include:

• two parents (elected by the parents)
• two members of staff – one is usually a teacher and the other is a support staff (elected by the staff)
• the Headteacher (if s/he opts to be a member of the Local Academy Board)

The Governors have an important job to do. They are involved in:

• deciding what is taught
• setting standards of behaviour
• monitoring attendance and punctuality
• interviewing and selecting staff
• deciding how the school budget is spent
• maintaining the school building
