The Directors of Primary & Secondary Education & Trust Lead for Attendance, Safeguarding & Behaviour will be in attendance to present information. Any other Education Team members will attend meetings as required to present information to the Committee. The quorum of the Committee is 3 Trustees.
The delegated responsibility of the Committee is to scrutinise educational level attainment and outcomes in all our schools. It also ensures the best outcomes for all groups of pupils, including provision for SEND pupils and ensuring all of our pupils flourish, including through behaviour, attitudes and culture in our trust. It reviews educational performance provided in a range of ways and provides challenge to the Trust around ensuring the best provision and outcomes for all of our pupils. It considers these things through the lens of the vision and values of our Trust, including provision for our Church Schools in the Trust, looking at the Voice of the Child, including the work of our Trust Pupil Parliament, and our most vulnerable pupils, all within the context of the needs of their local communities.
