Introduction to, and role of, the Local Governing Committee.

The LGC is a committee of the main board of The Park Academies Trust and is accountable to the Trustees for its decisions.

The LGC are responsible for a range of areas including:

  • Ensuring that standards of attainment and progress by all pupils at the school are high.
  • Taking a strategic role in the governance of the school.
  • Acting as a 'critical friends' to the school and its staff.

We meet together on a termly basis (6 times per year) to discuss all aspects of school life, supporting The Principal and the staffing team in the leadership of our successful school.
