Local Governance Board
The St Lawrence Local Governance Board (LGB) is responsible for working with the Head, Executive Head and other school staff to promote high standards of educational achievement. The LGB at St Lawrence is accountable to the Board of Trustees to The Howard Partnership Trust.
Our role is to support the school in its ongoing success, as well as to continue to challenge how things could be done better for the benefit of all the children at our school.
