Local Committee

The "Trust Board delegate some functions of the ‘day to day’ running of The Weald to the Local Committee through a Scheme of Delegation.

Each local committee is responsible for:

• Establishing the strategic direction
• Ensuring accountability
• Overseeing compliance, including monitoring the impact of some grants (such as the pupil premium)
• Ensuring risks to the organisation are managed.

The Local Committee meets six times per year (more if required and at least once per half term) and all Local Committee members are expected to attend.

The Local Committee comprises of people chosen and appointed by The Good Shepherd Trust, for their expertise and ability to work with school leaders, in order to accelerate the rate of school improvement. There is much to celebrate in the school’s progress to date and the Local Committee are supporting the initiatives for ongoing improvement, which are already having a demonstrable impact.
