Local Accountability Board (LAB)
Rugby Free Primary School is primarily governed by Triumph Learning Trust. However, in addition to the Trust, we have an advisory board called the Local Accountability Board (LAB). The LAB is a group of parents/carers and community members who meet with the school's leadership team in order to challenge and support them about a range of school issues - Curriculum, teaching and learning, behaviour and attitudes and community engagement.
As a school we provide effective and efficient communications to ensure that parents and carers are involved in all aspects of school life. We use parent mail as our main method of contact but also provide monthly newsletters and updates via social media platforms.
We strive to
develop well
rounded individuals
who are respectful,
curious and
resilient.
Who is part of LAB and what do they do?
The LAB is a group of parents/carers and community members who meet with the school's leadership team in order to challenge and support them about a range of school issues - Curriculum, teaching and learning, behaviour and attitudes and community engagement.
We aim to have parents/carers from different year groups so that we get a broad and balanced view of parents' opinions. LAB members will be expected to attend 5 meetings a year (or at least 4) and also come in to school at least twice in the year to meet with staff members regarding their area of responsibility e.g. English.
If you are interested in becoming a LAB member, please email the school office and we would love to have a chat with you about the role. Although we have no vacancies at present, we may do in the future.
