Welcome to the Governance section of the CJS website.
Our Local Advisory Board (LAB) plays a vital role in leading the school. LAB members are a team of volunteers (including parents of pupils in our school) who work with the Headteacher and the staff to make important decisions about the school and its future direction.
LAB members are at the heart of how a school operates, and the LAB’s main role is to help raise standards of achievement. As well as helping the school agree and maintain standards by setting and monitoring target and planning for the future, the LAB members also help the school to respond to the needs of parents and the wider community, and they are a friend to the school, offering support and advice.

You can contact the LAB by email via clerk.governors@cjsdorset.org or telephone the office and they will arrange for the Clerk to telephone you.
