Our Governors

Horncastle Education Trust (HET) comprises four schools; Banovallum School, Huttoft Primary & Nursery School, West Fen Primary School and Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School.

The trust was formed in December 2018 from a genuine desire to work more closely together following the success of existing partnership work between the schools.  Having both secondary and primary schools that are geographically close is something we take a pride in as a trust.  At HET all schools are in equal partnership irrespective of their size, phase of education, length of membership or Ofsted category.  

All governance flows from the Trust Board which has the legal responsibility for the operation of its trust. The trustees and the CEO at HET are accountable by law for the educational outcomes and financial diligence of the trust and all our schools.  We operate a local governing committee model, and our primary sector committee covers both Huttoft and West Fen as follows:

Local Governing Committees

LGCs know their schools best and are essential for ensuring each school performs academically. The trust board has responsibility for establishing LGCs, appointing a chair, ensuring parent governors are appointed and will determine what will be delegated. LGCs will focus upon:

• Safeguarding and SEND
• Education Performance Standards
• Community Engagement
• Visiting our school to triangulate what we see, hear and know

The structure of the LGCs is outlined in the trust’s Scheme of Delegation.
