The Local Governance Committee (LGC)

The LGC is a body of people appointed to work in St Matthew’s and to manage the school on behalf of Chester Diocesan Academies' Trust (CDAT). The headteacher is accountable to the LGC and, in turn, the LGC is accountable to CDAT.

The role of the LGC is to provide strategic management and to support the work of the headteacher and other staff in school. The headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school.

The LGC monitors the school’s progress and is responsible for ensuring the children of St Matthew’s get the best education possible. This includes holding the headteacher to account for effective teaching and learning across the school and managing the budget to support this.
