The Local Governance Committee (LGC) acts as the eyes and ears of the
Board of Trustees at a school level. It plays a vital role in gathering
and interpreting stakeholder perspectives to provide informed assurance
that the Trust’s strategy is being effectively implemented locally
The
LGC operates in an advisory capacity only and holds no delegated
decision-making powers. Its primary responsibilities are rooted in the
Four S’s:
- Stakeholders – Engagement with and representation of the voices of pupils, parents, staff, and the community.
- Safeguarding – Monitoring culture and compliance through stakeholder insight.
- SEND – Understanding and championing the lived experience of pupils with SEND and their families.
- Standards – Reviewing the quality of education and school improvement with a stakeholder lens.
