With the advent of Local Management, many of the particular 
responsibilities associated with Voluntary Aided Schools have now 
been devolved to Governors of all Schools.  Voluntary Aided 
Schools were originally provided by voluntary bodies (mainly the 
Church of England or Roman Catholic Church) and have, as here at 
St. Margaret's close, and important links with these bodies even 
though the Local Education Authority (Suffolk County Council) 
meets a lot of their running costs.  The voluntary body owns the 
site and buildings and appoints the seven foundation governors.  
The Governors rather than the LEA employ the staff and they are 
responsible for most building works and exterior repairs.
