The Local Schools Committee for Bampton, Burlescombe and Webber’s Schools
Known as “Mid Devon”; Bampton, Burlescombe and Webber’s schools are all members of the Alumnis Multi Academy Trust and collectively form one Local Schools Committee (LSC). A Local Schools Committee is a sub-committee of the Alumnis Multi-Academy Trust Board of Directors. The Board delegate functions to the LSC, in particular, the LSC is key in providing the Board with stakeholder voice. Members are appointed by the Board, Parents and Staff.
The LSC plays a crucial role in enriching community relationships and communication, contributing to the collective effectiveness of schools and Alumnis MAT as a whole. The aim is to support, inform, advise and challenge provision; working together, empowering excellence and improving outcomes for all children. Working with the Head Teacher, Executive Team and Trust Board, the LSC is a local voice and a link with local communities and churches (church schools) as well as being advocates for all schools within our School Trust. For our Church of England schools, the LSCs will also ensure that the school’s Christian distinctiveness is recognised.
The LSC are responsible for:
- Approving policies: Agree on policies for the school, such as those relating to Healthy Eating.
- Overseeing the school: Supporting the implementation of the school’s improvement plan and working as the voice for the Directors.
- Building relationships: Working with head teachers to establish and maintain relationships with the local community
- Ensuring effective use of resources: Monitoring the use of resources for SEND and Pupil Premium
- Implementing safeguarding policy: Monitoring the effective implementation of safeguarding policy and procedures
The Chair of our Mid Devon LSC is Rev. Kevin Chandra and can be contacted via the schools.
