Governance (Local Partnership Board)

East Brent Church of England Academy is a part of the Wessex Learning Trust whose Trustees hold the ultimate responsibility for the governance of each Wessex Learning Trust School.

The Department for Education’s Academy Trust Handbook sets out the Trust’s responsibilities regarding governance – Academy trust handbook 2025: effective from 1 September 2025 - GOV.UK

Wessex Learning Trust Trustees delegate certain key roles and responsibilities to the School’s Local Partnership Board (LPB) and these are set out clearly in the Scheme of Delegation which can be seen on the Wessex Learning Trust website.

We value the expertise and support that our Local Partnership Board (LPB) brings. The Local Partnership Boards for East Brent Church of England First School and Lympsham Church of England First School have combined so that one LPB covers the two schools. Please see below a list of our Local Partners. We value the expertise and support that our Local Partnership Board (LPB) brings.
