Springhead Primary is part of the Children's First Learning Partnership.

Springhead Primary has a Local Advisory Board (LAB).  

Some of the responsibilities of the  delegated responsibilities of the Children's First Learning Partnership are delegated to the LAB. These include day to day operational management, leadership of teaching, learning and assessment, curriculum design, pupil welfare, staffing and budget monitoring.

  • Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent
