Local Governors

Welcome to the Local Governing Body 

The Hinchley Wood Learning Partnership (HWLP) was formed on 1 July 2019, when Hinchley Wood School (formerly a single-academy trust) became a multi-academy trust. HWLP is now a multi-academy trust and a registered company, limited by guarantee. It is an exempt Charity regulated by the Education and Skills Funding Agency on behalf of the Secretary of State for Education. More information about the trust, can be found on their website.

 

The Hinchley Wood Learning Partnership Trust Board has established a Local Governing Body for Thames Ditton Junior School fulfilling an advisory function regarding student learning and welfare. Under the Local Governing Body, a Primary Admissions Sub-Committee has also been established covering both Trust primary schools. 


Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.


We have also provided a Register of Governor Interests for your information.

The Local Governing Body (LGB) comprises a maximum of eleven Local Governors. Local Governors are either elected or appointed: up to five are appointed by the Trustees; two Parent Local Governors are elected from the parent body; two Staff Local Governors are nominated and elected by school staff; the Headteacher and CEO are Ex-Officio Local Governors. The Chair and/or Local Governors can be contacted via the Clerk to the Local Governors:
