They are involved in: - Supporting the direction, policies and objectives of the school - Agreeing the school budget - Making sure the curriculum is balanced and broadly based - Challenging and supporting the Headteacher #### What Committee Members can’t do: The LGC is a group. Individual members have no powers except where the whole committee has given them a specific job to do. The LGC make their decisions based on the advice of members that deal with specific issues, such as the school's curriculum, premises or finances. They don’t make decisions individually and they can’t go into schools and make demands of the Headteacher and staff. To find out more about the LGC, ask any member of the governing team. **Committee Members** **Full Governing Committee — 7 members: Serving for a period of 4 years.** | **Name** | **Title** | **Date appointed** | **Date Reappointed** | |---|---|---|---| | Darren Walsh | Parent Member (Chair) | 01.02.23 | | | Dr Ann Shilton | Foundation Member | 01.02.23 | | | Jodie Jenkinson | Parent Member | 01.02.23 | | | Dr Laura Kirven | Parent Member | 18.01.24 | | | Lyndsey Derry | Staff Member | 01.02.23 | | | Emma Bowring | Headteacher Member | 01.02.23 | | | Peter Halifax | TSSMAT Link Director | | | More information about our LGC members can be found here: ### Richard Crosse LGC Pen Portraits Pen portrait and responsibility areas 53 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/small-schools-multi-academy-trust/files/documents/RC_LGC_Pen_Portraits(1).pdf) If you would like to apply to be a member of our LGC, please complete the application form below, and return to the school office. ### LGC Application Form Application form 245 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/small-schools-multi-academy-trust/files/documents/1g._Application_Form_-_LGC_.docx) ### Governance - [Governance Structure](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/governance-structure) - [Board of Directors](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/board-of-directors/function-of-the-board) - [Board of Members](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/board-of-members/function-of-the-members) - [Local School Governing Committees (LGC's)](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups) - [The Function of our LGC's](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups/the-function-of-our-lgc-s) - [All Saints LGC](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups/all-saint-s-local-governing-committee) - [Anson LGC](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups/anson-local-governing-committee) - [Mary Howard LGC](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups/mary-howard-local-governing-committee) - [St Andrew's LGC](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups/st-andrew-s-local-governing-committee) - [St Mary's LGC](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups/st-mary-s-local-governing-committee) - [The Howard LGC](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups/the-howard-local-governing-committee) - [The Richard Crosse LGC](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups/richard-crosse-local-governing-committee) - [LGC Attendance](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/local-advisory-groups/lgc-attendance) - [Policies](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/policies) - [Data Protection](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/data-protection) - [Minutes, Reports & Documents](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/reports-documents) - [Financial Information](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/financial-information) - [Scheme of Delegation](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/scheme-of-delegation) - [Public Sector Equality Duty](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/public-sector-equality-duty) ![The Staffordshire Schools Multi Academy Trust](https://files.schudio.com/small-schools-multi-academy-trust/images/logo/logo-footer-3.png) ### The Staffordshire Schools Multi Academy Trust Crawley Lane, Kings Bromley, Burton on Trent Staffordshire DE13 7JE 01543 472245 ### Quick Links - [Term Dates](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/about-us/term-dates) - [Our Schools](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/our-schools) - [Join Our MAT](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/join-us/join-our-mat) - [Governance](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/governance-structure) - [Policies](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/governance/policies) © Copyright 2019–2026 The Staffordshire Schools Multi Academy Trust School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://tssmat.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
