Meet the Governors
The Local Governing Body (LGB) of Ruskin Junior School advises on the overall development and management of the school in areas of curriculum, special educational needs, and staffing.
The LGB meets regularly and consists of elected parents, elected staff which includes the Headteacher, and individuals whom the LGB have voted on for their skills and experience.
If parents need to raise any concerns they should follow the Complaints Policy which can be found on here.
Please also find, for information, The Blue Kite Academy Trust policies on Governor Expenses and Classroom Visits. There is also a policy regarding the privacy of Governors.
