Our Local Governing Committee

Hello,

I am Darren Kidger and I am Chair of the Local Governing Committee which is a Committee of the ONE Trust Board. I would like to introduce you to the other members and to the work that we do on behalf of the children.  The Local Governing Committee carries out a very important job behind the scenes in supporting and challenging the school staff to improve the outcomes for children.  Please find below an impact statement about the work that we did in the last academic year.

Local Governing Committee Details 

We work closely as a team, particularly with the Co-Headteachers and senior staff on a wide variety of tasks which include:

• developing a strategic plan for the school;
• determining school aims, policies and priorities;
• setting targets;
• monitoring and evaluating the work of the school;
• appointing staff;
• securing high levels of attendance and good standards of pupil behaviour;
• ensuring that all children in the school have access to a broad and balanced curriculum;
• ensuring the health and safety of pupils and staff.

This list may seem daunting, but we can honestly say that we really enjoy the huge satisfaction we get from seeing how rapidly the school is improving and feel valued for our part in it. We are a strong team with a variety of skills who work well together and have a shared commitment to continuing the journey together for the benefit of all our children in the future.

The minutes of our Local Governing Committee meetings are available on request from the School Office.
