The Local Governing Committee (LGC) at each academy is part of wider governance across the Multi Academy Trust. LGCs work alongside the Trust Board of Directors, Central Team and Senior Leadership at the academies to ensure the best outcomes for pupils at their academy and across the trust. The roles and delegated functions across the trust are set out in the Scheme of Delegation (SoD).

The LGC play a crucial role in trust governance. They support the work of the trust board by;

• Providing support, monitoring and challenge for school leaders around educational experience and performance with a particular focus on vulnerable pupils.
• Providing high-quality local tier insights, enabling the trust board to account for the educational experience across the trust.
• Supporting church (where appropriate), community and stakeholder engagement.
• Supporting alignment with Trust strategy, approach, ethos, vision and values.
