THE LANCASHIRE ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL
GOVERNING BODIES

 
The Lancashire Association of School Governing Bodies - the name was chosen carefully to explain the constituency of the Association - was founded in 1993, and is one of the oldest Governors’ associations. The LASGB Executive Committee consists of 18 elected members, three drawn from each of six areas of the county. The six Areas serve as local contacts for Governing Bodies.
 
The LASGB is an independent organisation run by Governors, for Governors,  and is funded entirely by subscriptions from member Governing Bodies.   Membership is voluntary and the Association has nearly 400 members.  Currently the subscription is £30 per year,  £10 for Nurseries.
 
The LASGB has been affiliated to the NGC and the NGA for many years and in the past two of its Executive Committee members served on the NGC Committee.

Lancashire is one of the largest Local Authorities with 648 schools – 24 nurseries (and many nursery classes), 485 primary, and 83 secondary and 30 special schools. 
 
As with many large Authorities, schools in Lancashire vary widely: they range from 50 or so in rural areas with fewer than 50 pupils in them, to secondary schools with around 1800 pupils; from recently opened first tranche BSF schools in Burnley to inner-city schools in Victorian buildings in Preston.
