Governance (Local Partnership Board)

St Cuthbert's Church of England Infants School 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 brings. Please see below a list of our Local Partners.

If you would like to contact the Chair of the Local Partnership Board, or you are interested in becoming a Local Partner, please email the Clerk to the Partnership Board at office@stcuthbertsacademywells.co.uk.
