School Governors
School Governing Body
Since September 2023 we have been in a formal federation with Leck St Peter’s, known as the Lune Valley Federation of Leck St Peter’s and Hornby St Margaret’s Church of England Primary Schools.
We can have a total of 14 governors; this is laid down in our “Instrument of Government” which is the legal basis of any school governing body. We must have a majority of “Foundation Governors”: these are governors nominated by either the Parochial Church Council, or from the Blackburn Diocesan Board of Education. Governors normally serve for a period of 4 years.
Our Federation Governing Body Membership comprises of:
- Headteacher
- One Local Authority governor
- Eight foundation governors (must outnumber all other governors by two)
- Two parent governors (one from each school)
- One staff governor (from either school)
- One co-opted governor

The school governors meet once a term for a Full Governing Body meeting and in between for sub committees that discuss the strategic development of both schools including the school curriculum, the upkeep and development of the school building and grounds, the school budget and finances as well as staffing issues.
