Local Academy Committee
Endeavour Primary School is part of the Inspire Learning Partnership, where strategic accountability for all schools rests with the Board of Trustees.
The Trust Board has established a Local Academy Committee (LAC) for each academy to ensure governance remains connected to the school community while supporting the Trust's vision, values and strategic priorities. Committee members are drawn from the local community and bring a range of skills, knowledge and experience to support effective governance.
The Local Academy Committee provides local oversight and assurance on behalf of the Trust Board, focusing on three key areas:
- Standards - educational outcomes, curriculum, attendance and inclusion.
- Safeguarding - ensuring pupils are safe, supported and able to thrive.
- Stakeholders - understanding and representing the views of pupils, families, staff and the wider community.
Working alongside school leaders, Local Academy Committee members provide both support and constructive challenge, helping to ensure that every child receives the highest quality education and opportunities to succeed.
For information about the Trust's governance arrangements, including the Governance Charter and Scheme of Delegation, please visit the Trust Governance page.
