Local Academy Board (LAB)

Each school across Community First Academy Trust has its own Local Governing Body referred to as a Local Academy Board (LAB) .

This body of governors reports to the Trustees of Community First Academy Trust.

At Platt Bridge Community School our Local Academy Board is chaired by Mr Michael Farrell. 

The role of Local Academy Board members within a multi-academy trust is a valuable one in providing local governance as well as offering assistance to the trustees in the fulfilment of their duties.

The Local Academy Board discharges their responsibilities and duties as outlined within the Scheme of Delegation. to view the Trusts Scheme of Delegation please visit www.cfat.org.uk/trust-information/statutory-information 

The Scheme of Delegation identifies the key decision-making authorities for all schools, academies and the SCITT within the Trust. It also determines the functions undertaken by the Board of Trustees and those which have been delegated by the Board of Trustee to either the Trust Central Team, a Local Academy Board, the SCITT Headteacher Board or one of the Trusts Headteachers/Heads of Schools.

The Trust Scheme of Delegation applies to all school/academies within the Trust and its SCITT.
