The Governing Body
The School is an Academy governed by the Members and Trustees of the Symphony Learning Trust (SLT), a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) set up in 2016 by our Executive Head and a group of his Head teacher colleagues to provide stability and strength of leadership for Thornton Primary School.
The Trustees of SLT make decisions in the best interest of all schools in the Trust and provide policy, guidance and challenge to ensure the effective leadership and management of the member Academies which are (at the time of writing), Newcroft Primary Academy, Thornton Primary School, The Meadow Community Primary School, Glen Hills Primary School, Fairfield Primary School and Ashby Wilesley Primary School. Ultimate accountability for our school rests with the CEO and the Trustees.
