Each school within the Trust has their own or shared Local Governing Body, made up of a dedicated group of people with a diverse set of skills. Meetings are held termly. The Head Teacher provides the Local Governing Body with information to support self-evaluation judgments and to give assurance that the school is fulfilling their statutory duties.
The core functions of the LGB include:
· Safeguarding
· SEND
· Standards
· Stakeholder Engagement
More information regarding governance at Lingfield Education Trust can be found on the governance section of the website, here. This includes the Trust ‘Scheme of Delegation’, which details the functions and responsibilities of Local Governing Bodies (and associated committees) within Lingfield Education Trust. Please contact the school to speak with Mrs Farrier if you may be interested in joining the team!
