Local Governing Bodies (LGB's) - each of our schools will continue to have its own 'Local' Governing Body which will serve as a committee of the Trust Board. They will continue to monitor outcomes and the experiences for children at their schools, be involved in the school's strategic direction and review policies. Focus will be paid to the 4 S's: SEND, safeguarding, standards and stakeholder engagement.
Chairs Forum - is in addition to the above. This will consist of Chairs of Local Governing Bodies (or a governor representative) from each school. Their role will be to discuss MAT issues, liaise with the Local Governing Bodies and carry out some aspects of the MAT's work.
Church Schools Forum - Kaleidoscope celebrates and supports it Church School's visions, values and Christian distinctiveness. Specific Church School focus meetings take place over the year in partnership with key personnel, governance and foundation representatives. We also work in close partnership with the Diocese of Bath and Wells.
