Local Governing Body
Kippax Ash Tree converted to Academy status alongside some of the Brigshaw Trust partner schools to form the Brigshaw Learning Partnership (BLP). Please visit the BLP website to find out about the Board of Directors and view the Trust's Governance and Financial information.
Each school will continue to have its own headteacher and governing body, and the Brigshaw Learning Partnership Board, which is now responsible for all of our schools, contains representatives from across our community, as well as very experienced and skilled people who share our values, including headteachers, from further afield.
