Philip Morant School and College Local Governance Committee
The Local Governance Committee (LGC) plays an important role in providing insight into the community , the opportunities and the challenges that a school faces in its local community. A committee consists of a minimum of nine members with at least two elected parents and two staff members, including the Headteacher.
The LGC meetings are held every term with Governors taking on specific areas of responsibility to visit a school regularly and gather feedback across areas of the school such as curriculum, behaviour, safeguarding or safety. The Chairs of LGC meet with the Chair of the Trust and the CEO on a termly basis.
Philip Morant School & College are proudly supported by a dedicated group of volunteer local Governors who operate as a joint LGC.
