Welcome to our Governors’ section
Our governors wholeheartedly work with the head and deputy to lead the school’s vision. They are strongly focussed on high aspirations, equality of opportunity for all and how children are taught to live, learn and love one another together.
Governors work with school leaders as an effective team, bringing their skills and experience to their role, blending challenge and support in order to drive school improvement. They visit school for both monitoring purposes and to engage with school activities including collective worship.
In order to support the effective operation of the school, the board has established three committees to which it has delegated certain of its powers and functions. These committees are detailed below.
Finance, Audit and Risk Committee
To provide the LSB with assurances of compliance with Trust, DfE, ESFA and in respect of any other applicable statutory requirements.
Quality of Education Committee
To maintain a consistent focus on checking the adequacy of the school’s safeguarding and child protection measures including the Prevent duty. To maintain a consistent focus on checking the effectiveness of the school’s development plan and the implementation and impact of the school’s curriculum.
Christian Distinctiveness Committee
To maintain a consistent focus on checking the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision and context-driven Christian values, ensuring they are the foundation of everything that the school does.
