Local Monitoring Committee

Local Monitoring Committee

The role of the Local Monitoring Committee (LMC) is an intrinsic part of the leadership of the school, although often unseen by parents and other community stakeholders. The LMC is made up of a group of dedicated volunteers, who invest a huge amount of good will and hard work for the sole purpose of improving the education of every child in our school. The government expects governing bodies to be a dynamic group of highly skilled individuals who focus on supporting the headteacher to shape the strategic direction of the school. LMC’s are responsible for:

· Standards

· Safeguarding

· Stakeholders

· SEND

Training

All members of the LMC receive significant training. The impact of this is that the LMC are kept abreast of their responsibilities with regard to the latest requirements and expectations. Learning and actions from training are shared and implemented at LMC meetings.

Impact of Local Monitoring Committee meetings

Members will attend LMC meetings six times per annum. In addition members will attend monitoring visits that are connected to their area of responsibility. The impact of this is that members understand the areas of strength and actions for improvement in teaching and practice within the school. This enables them to challenge the headteacher on how good practice within school is being shared for whole school benefit and how improvements are being made.

If you want to find out more about what our members do or have any other questions please contact the school office or our LMC Chair, Ruth Greenaway – rgreenaway@kehalland.tpacademytrust.org.

Local Monitoring Committee Diversity

The Local Monitoring Committee (LMC) of Kehelland Village School believe it is important that the committee reflects the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse committees promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people.

The committee members have collected data on the diversity of the committee, including data on age, gender and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their

recruitment and training needs and ensure there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making.

Due to our relatively small monitoring committee, we will not publish this diversity data online as individual members could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data
