REAch2 now has 62 primary schools and is organised into 10 clusters. You can find a complete list of the clusters on the REAch2 website.

Langtons Junior Academy is in Cluster 10. 

REAch2 Governance

We have 2 layers of governance in REAch2: local governing bodies which oversee individual schools

and our Board of Trustees who are ultimately accountable to the Department for Education for the

running of the Trust.

All our schools share the same governance structure, and you can find information about the trust on

the REAch2 website at www.reach2.org. The Governance page gives details of how the Trust is

organised, including the Articles of Association, the Master Funding Agreement and all the documents

which relate to how the Trust was founded and how it runs today. You can also find details of who

our trustees are.

Our school, like most schools in the Trust, has a local governing body (LGB). There are terms of

reference, which detail how the LGB should work and what its responsibilities are. On the REAch2

website, terms of reference are available for all our boards, including the Trust Board. You can also

find documents which show how all the different layers communicate and how responsibility and

accountability is distributed

Governance in our school

The LGB holds meetings during the year in which they help to support the school, its leadership and

pupils, whilst challenging to make sure that everyone achieves as much progress as they can and

should.

Our school’s LGB is made up of 4 trust-appointed members, who are volunteers, two parents, two

staff and the headteacher. They can invite other members of staff into meetings to discuss current

issues. You can find out about our governors here Governance. They have to declare

that they are working for the school in an open and honest way and so fill in a declaration of

interests form annually and declarations of interest is an item on every LGB meeting agenda.

There is also a shared services team with officers and business partners who specialise in providing

support in areas such as finance, education, safeguarding, SEND, risk and governance.
