Local School Committee (LSC)
The Local School Committee meets termly to monitor and scrutinise the school’s performance on behalf of the Initio Learning Trust and to provide support and challenge to the Headteacher in equal measure. The Local School Committee believes passionately in the need for St Michael's to be both supported and challenged to deliver the best for every pupil, working together to drive up educational standards, whilst preserving and developing the school’s religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at Parish and Diocesan level. In accordance with the Education Act, 1980, copies of the Agenda and Minutes of each meeting are available for inspection at the School. Further information about the LSC membership can be found through the government website Get Information About Schools.
