Governance

Springfield School is part of The De Curci Trust. The Trust delegates certain powers and responsibilities to the school’s Local Governing Body (LGB).

Springfield’s LGB makes decisions which are in the best interests of the young people in its care.

In summary, its role is to:

  • Continually review and assess the overall provision, development and effectiveness of the school.

  • Offer challenging and constructive support to the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team.

  • Assist with and review the implementation of certain delegated school policies, such as behaviour.

  • Act as a key link between The De Curci Trust and the broader Springfield School community.

  • Provide advice and information to the Trustees on the functioning of the school.

The Headteacher, who is also a Governor and Trustee, is responsible for the internal organisation, management and control of the school. The Local Governing Body acts as a ‘critical friend’ to the school and provides advice and positive support to the school’s leadership team.

To get in touch with the Local Governing Body, please contact Jean Loy, Clerk to the Governors, via clerk@springfield.uk.net
