As is the case with all multi academy trusts the legal responsibility for governance of the Trust and its schools sits with the Members and the Board of Directors (trustees). It is for the Board to decide how and to what level it wishes to delegate any responsibility to a local body or committee.
The trust has in place several groups to ensure that there is a strong link between the Board and its schools or academies.
A School Performance Board (SPB) oversees and scrutinises the quality of education at Bridge Learning Campus and this group reports to the main board through its committee structure.
The School Performance Board at BLC is chaired by Mr R Wellman. If you wish to contact the chair for any reason please do so by contacting Mrs J Frederiks Davies Clerk, C/o Bridge Learning Campus, William Jessop Way, Hartcliffe, Bristol, BS13 0RL.
