Governance

The Sigma Trust firmly believes in local governance structures and Alton Park Junior School and Holland Park Primary School share a Local Governance Committee (LGC) with delegated responsibilities from the Board of Directors of the Sigma Trust. LGCs have delegated functions as set out in the Trust’s Scheme of Delegation. The Trustees remain accountable and responsible for these functions.

The duties of the LGCs include:

• Establishing the vision and ethos for the relevant academy ensuring that it fits within and promotes the vision and ethos of the Trust.
• Safeguarding and promoting the values of the Academy
• Supporting the Headteacher of the Academy and being a critical friend
• Monitoring the achievement, quality of teaching and behaviour and safety within the Academy
• Engagement with the Academy’s key stakeholders e.g. parents/carers, pupils and staff
• Advising the Trustees about local issues they need to consider that affect the Academy

The LGC is made up of a minimum of 9 LGC members and a maximum of 15; 2 of which must be Parent Governors.
Consideration will be given to all interested parties and applications should be submitted to: [email protected]
