Community Governance Committees: 

All schools in the Greenshaw Learning Trust have their own Community Governance Committee (CGC) which ensures that our schools remain deeply rooted in the communities they serve through independent, local assurance. The CGC also allows for feedback and communication between the school community and the Trust Board, and each school has a Link Trustee. 

CGC members do not get involved in the day-to-day running of the school. In addition to attending CGC meetings, CGC Members can be appointed to Champion roles including Pupil Voice, Staff Wellbeing, Destinations and Sustainability. CGC Members also serve on statutory panels that consider and review specific matters such as complaints, suspensions and exclusions. 

Please visit the individual school's website for membership of the governing body.  Their websites can be accessed through the 'Our Schools' page.
