Governing Body
Balmoral Learning Trust schools have local governing bodies made up of 11 Governors. These Governors are parents, staff and co-opted governors from the local community. Governors have the responsibility to oversee and monitor standards and educational achievement and address the needs of their individual school, either themselves (if within their remit) or with the support of the Trust Board of Directors.
The role of Governors is to ensure the strategic direction and performance of the school continues to reflect the high standards we have set ourselves as a Trust. All Governors have a responsibility to ensure that Hetton Lyons Primary School continues to deliver the high educational standards the Head of School and senior leadership team have achieved, supporting the school as it continues to evolve into a leading primary academy in Sunderland.
