We are currently seeking to recruit two Local School Committee (LSC) members to join our governance community and support our school.
The main purpose of the LSC, on behalf of the Beckfoot Trust Board, is to take responsibility for holding the Headteacher to account and, in doing so, ensuring the following areas are a priority of school life and a focus of continuous improvement.
- Educational standards
- Health and Safety audits and key data/information
- Safeguarding local protocols, audits and data
- Effective community and family engagement
- Staff engagement, welfare and wellbeing
- Student engagement, welfare and wellbeing
The Local School Committee members perform governance functions and are therefore required to have a DBS check (Disclosure & Barring Service) to ensure suitability to work in school and are listed (name only) on Get Information about Schools (GIAS).
This work provides an opportunity to engage with our school with purpose, humility and integrity and we are looking for people who can support us in our mission to create remarkable schools where no child is left behind.
Meetings take place 4 times a year and we provide training to our governance community on Trust initiatives and statutory responsibilities.
If you are interested, please contact Emily Wintersgill at [email protected] to find out more about the role before Monday 19 January 2026.
