Governance

The Board of Trustees at Anglian Learning has overall responsibility for setting the trust’s strategic direction and ensuring the strong performance of its individual academies. It delegates a number of these responsibilities to Local Governing Bodies (LGB) associated with each school, including the following:

Agreeing an improvement strategy for their schools and supporting and challenging academy leaders to deliver excellent outcomes
Assisting in setting the vision and ethos of the academies
Reflecting and shaping the views of key stakeholders (parents, staff, pupils and the local community)

Further details on the role of the trust’s Local Governing Bodies can be found in its Scheme of Delegation.

Since September 2024 Fen Ditton Primary School and Marleigh Primary Academy have shared a joint Governing Body, made up of governors from both schools. There are 12 governors, including Emily Thompson, the Executive Headteacher. More information about each governor and their role can be found on the Governor Details for 2024/25 below.

The board is always looking for new recruits who can expand its range of experience and knowledge. If you would like to receive more information about the governor role, please contact its Governance Professional, Stuart Hales (shales@anglianlearning.org)

Any questions about governance at the School should be directed to the Chair at the following address: enquiries@marleighprimary.org
