A warm welcome to you from your school governors!  The Local Governing Committee (LGC) plays an important part in the life of your school. The members of the LGC reflect a wide range of interests from local businesses and the community, staff members and, of course, parents. Our LGC is composed of Board-appointed Governors, elected Parent and Staff Governors, the Head of School and Executive Head (by virtue of the office they hold).

As we are part of a Multi-Academy Trust, the Watchfield Primary School LGC is accountable to the Cambrian Learning Trust Board. The Board assigns local governance responsibilities to the LGC, in accordance with the Scheme of Delegated Authority and LGC Terms of Reference. The LGC provides oversight of the school's management, performance and finances, in line with the development plan for the Trust.  The LGC also ensures Trust-wide and local policies are implemented and monitored, and that meeting and reporting structures are aligned with those of the Board.

The LGC recognise and understand that our school is unique. We take a keen interest in school performance data but recognise the data is but one measure of a child's performance.   One of our strengths is in the whole school experience at Watchfield where a child's mind, body and spirit benefits from the rich tapestry of cultures, nationalities and experiences that the children in our school bring. Consequently, the LGC has an important job to do in ensuring that the welfare of the school and its culture, values and ethos are maintained.

The role of governors is one of both challenge and support in a constructive way.  We are always open to feedback and ideas.  If you would like to offer a suggestion, your governors can be contacted by email to the clerk to the LGC : Mr Shaf Moledina SMoledina@cambrianlt.org
