Within our school at a local we are supported by a local advisory board.

The local advisory boards key roles are:-

To work with the Headteacher to support the strategic development of the school so that our children continue to receive the very best education, develop their self-esteem and respect for others, and remain safe and happy.

The LAB members at Gaddesby Primary School meet as a full board at least four times per year term to discuss a wide range of topics including school policy, curriculum, pupil progress, and safeguarding. Our Local Advisory Board is made up of Parents, Co-opted/community advisors  and Staff members.

Our LAB members are also invited to visit the school whilst lessons are in progress and also to monitor a wide range of the other aspects of the school. LAB meetings are recorded and copies of the minutes are filed in school.

All of our LAB members have access to high quality training which enables them to improve their skills and keep them up to date.

LAB members also play an active part in school life by attending events such as sports day, school trips, parents evenings and performances.

​All of our LAB members were appointed by the local advisory board. Parental and staff appointments are made by election.
