Rationale
The management team within Lornshill Academy is based on a Shared Leadership Model where responsibility and
accountability for the school community is accepted by the full team regardless of individual roles and remits.
Within each of the teams there is a shared approach / teams to support joint development, improvement and
effective support / learning.
The complex nature of a school community demands a collegiate approach with management and leadership
structures supporting collaborative working, whilst being effective for improving outcomes for all young people.
The leadership team within Lornshill Academy is split into BGE and Senior Phase teams,

The House system will only operate for the BGE phase with 1 PT per House.
The Senior Phase will operate a year group system with 2 Pupil Support PT’s – S4 & S5/6
The BGE and Senior Phase teams will support the governance of each stage to ensure all
entitlements are met.

will be opportunities for wider learning teams to be established.
