Our School Governance Arrangements
The role of the Trust Local Committee is to set strategic direction, to hold school leaders to account for improving performance – by acting as a critical friend – and to make sure money is well spent.
As an academy Church school, our Trust Local Committee is made up of:- Foundation appointed members of the Trust Local Committee: identified by the Trust Local Committee and then forwarded to the Diocese for formal appointment following consideration by the Trust
- Parent members of the Trust Local Committee: elected by secret ballot through a process confirmed by the Bath and Wells Multi Academy Trust
- MAT appointed members of the Trust Local Committee: approved by the Bath and Wells Multi Academy Trust but are, in the first instance, usually sourced by the Trust Local Committee
The full Trust Local Committee meets six times a year focussing particularly on school standards, safeguarding, engagement with stakeholders, and SEN. These and other items are reported on, discussed and decisions are taken by a majority vote.
