Christ’s College Local Governing Committee (LGC)
Christ’s College is part of the Good Shepherd Trust (GST). The GST is a multi-academy trust within the Diocese of Guildford. More information about the GST can be found here.
The GST has given the Local Governing Committee (LGC) a scheme of delegation which shows what the LGC is responsible for.
The key functions of the Local Governing Committee are:
- Agree the aims and objectives for the school.
- Set the policies to achieve those objectives.
- Set challenging but realistic targets for teaching and monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making;
- Be a source of challenge and support to the Principal (acting as a critical friend).
- Record visits to the school both during school hours (with prior arrangement with the Principal) and other events as appropriate.
- Draw any significant recommendations and matters of concern to the attention of the Trust Board via the Link Director of Education/CEO as appropriate.
Declarations of interest are declared and reviewed at LGC meetings and are recorded in the minutes.
Our LGC members perform a vital service to our College, supporting the delivery of a high quality education by the Principal and staff while ensuring that all aspects are efficiently managed and stay true to our vision, ethos and values
LGC meetings are held approximately twice per term. Part 1 (non-confidential) minutes of these minutes are public documents and can be requested from the school office.
The next scheduled meetings for 2020-21 will be held on: 6th July 2021
What are the different types of membership?
- Ex officio members: the Principal School Leader;
- Foundation members: may include the Incumbent (4-year term);
- Parent members: elected by parents of registered pupils at the academy and must be a parent of a pupil at the academy at the time of the election (4-year term);
- Staff member: 1 member of the school staff from each school appointed as a representative of the staff (4-year term);
- General member (4-year term).
