Lydeard St Lawrence Community Primary School

TLC

Roles and Responsibilities of All TLC members

The TLC Handbook describes effective governance as follows:

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• Holding leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and
• Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent

These are the responsibilities of Lydeard St Lawrence’s TLC.

► At its heart it is about being a ‘critical friend’ to the school. This involves a wide range of activities aimed at ensuring we understand ‘where the school is,’ its strengths, its areas for development, and its core priorities that stem from these.

► Core priorities stem from a wide variety of evidence sources, including from external monitoring processes, such as Ofsted and other external experts, as well as from school’s own monitoring processes.

► Governor monitoring activities contribute to these evidence sources. We endeavour to ensure we have the right information in sufficient depth, which we analyse and interrogate in order to provide rigorous challenge. We engage with parents, staff and pupils in carrying out our own monitoring processes to support the improvement process.

► Core priorities are captured within the school’s strategic School Development Plan and we monitor progress towards these key goals throughout the year.

We are a group of committed volunteers whose aim is to make a real contribution to the ongoing improvement of the school; playing a role in enabling it to be the best that it can be for our children and who love celebrating too, the successes along the way.
