Governance

LOCAL ACADEMY COMMITTEE

Our Local Academy Committee (LAC) has the following core functions of governance, in line with the Wandle Learning Trust Scheme of Delegation

• Provide strategic oversight of the education provision of the school.
• Ensure the stakeholder voice is heard and helps to inform strategic decision-making.
• Provide strategic oversight of compliance of the school with Trust policies.
• Support the Trust Board to ensure good governance across the Trust. 

WHAT WE DO?

Local Academy Committees provide challenge and support to Academy Leadership Teams as the Academy implements policies and improvement plan priorities.

Academy Leadership Teams manage the day-to-day business of the individual academy under the oversight of the Executive Team, with challenge and support from their Local Academy Committee.

The LAC met twice a term during the autumn, spring and summer terms.  Within the LAC there are key link role holders for:

• Safeguarding
• SEND, inclusion and equalities
• People and stakeholder management
• Premises and health and safety

Link role holders meet with relevant school leaders to monitor their area and also attend specific training for their role and meet at least annually with other link role holders and a trustee link role holder to share ideas and best practice and ensure communication flows between LAC members and Trustees.
