The Governing Body
Back to Key InformationThe Local Governing Body (LGB) is made up of volunteers who commit their time to work alongside the leadership team of the school to play an important part in raising school standards.
The LGB has a strong focus on three core strategic functions:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Holding the principal to account for the educational performance of the academy and its pupils; and
- Overseeing the financial performance of the academy and making sure its money is well spent.
The LGB meets regularly to meet these functions and other responsibilities. The governors also visit the school to ensure they understand what is happening and to monitor and evaluate the impact of actions. Governors can be contacted through the school.

About the Governors
Sara-Jayne FletcherGovernor Type: Date Appointed:
|
I became Principal at Babington Academy in 2017. I have however been part of the Babington journey since 2008 initially as Faculty Leader for physical education, performing arts, DT and art moving onto the senior team in 2010. Previously to working at Babington Academy I worked in two secondary schools in Leicestershire. I feel that it is an honour to lead a school blessed with such a diverse community and relish the opportunity that this role presents to make a real difference. |
Luciano SepedeGovernor Type: Date Appointed: Appointment Ceases: |
Luciano has been a teacher for sixteen years, fourteen of those at Babington. After beginning his working life as a journalist, he entered education with the principal hope of improving the scholastic achievement of young people. Luciano has watched Babington grow enormously during the last decade and he would like to think he has played a small part in the school’s considerable success. As an English teacher, he has had the privilege of working with many fantastic colleagues, but the ultimate honour has been helping students progress, sometimes way beyond expectations. Away from school, three things dominate his life: family, friends and football. He also enjoys travelling and classes himself as a cultured film buff and highly knowledgeable music fan!
