Local School Committees
Each school has a dedicated Local School Committee which works with the headteacher to lead the strategic development of the school. The Local School Committee of each school includes:
- at least 3 community based partners with the skills, knowledge and experience the school has identified it needs
- 2 elected parents
- an elected staff governor
Each Local School Committee will elect a Chair of Governors.
Guided by the scheme of delegation the Local School Committee of each school will oversee specific areas of responsibility:
- Strategic overview of the school and approval of the School’s Development Plan (SDP)
- Approval of specific policies (e.g. related to curriculum, lettings, etc.)
- Recommending the school budget to the Board of directors
- Helping the school respond to the needs of parents and the community and making it more accountable through consultation and reporting
- Setting the school’s standards of conduct and values
