Our Governance

Gravel Hill Primary School is part of Cygnus Academies Trust, and all formal governance is carried out by the Trust Board, which is the legal accountable body for every school within the Trust.
This means Gravel Hill does not have a Local Governing Committee (LGC).
This governance model was introduced from September 2025 to strengthen clarity, consistency and accountability across the Trust.
