To maintain the local distinctiveness of each of the Trust’s schools, the Board of Directors has established a Primary Performance Board which incorporates a parent from each of the Trust's schools as well as directors and senior staff.

The group meets termly and reports to the Board of Directors.

• The Primary Deputy Executive Headteacher
• The Heads of School from each primary school
• Directors of the Trust
• A parent from each primary school

The Group has a key function in supporting the school, and influencing and shaping decisions that affect the school.

Key responsibilities:

• Promote the vision and values of the Trust
• Monitor standards
• Support Ethos, Behaviour and Safeguarding
• Consider the school environment, including safety and facilities provision
• Consider parent and staff liaison and relations
• Contribute to knowledge about the strengths of the school and improvement priorities
• Act as consultees in relation to strategic developments affecting the school
• Receive information from the Board of Directors relevant to the specific school

The Board of Directors may also ask the PPB to respond to questions and requests for the perspectives of the PPB on specific issues.

The PPB meets four times a year for approximately one hour during the day. They would also be expected to undergo a school visit every term.

The Chair of the PPB is a Trust director and chairs the meetings.
The four meeting dates and times will be scheduled annually by the Board of Directors, appreciating that there may be a need to reorganise meetings from time-to time.
The Clerk to the Directors will circulate agendas and take and circulate minutes.
When the minutes have been approved, they will be forwarded to the rest of the Board of Directors.
