GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
Whilst Pioneer Academies Community Trust is ultimately accountable for the performance of each of its academies, Carlton Primary Academy has a local governing body that is responsible for monitoring and reviewing the standards of its academy.
The Academy Trust Board operates the principle of earned autonomy as it believes that best results will be achieved when each academy’s Local Governing Body receives a level of responsibility and autonomy appropriate to its specific circumstances.

Where an academy is performing below an acceptable standard, the Trust has the legal and moral authority to intervene, in order to bring about improvements.

A written record of Local Governing Body meetings are taken in the form of minutes and are available upon request, please contact Mrs N Nurcombe, Office Manager 01226 722166.
