Local Governing Body

The Local Governing Body (LGB) of Alderman White School meets at least 3 times a year to assure the highest quality provision, safeguarding and equality of opportunity for all pupils, and effective support and management of staff. Through formal reviews the LGB robustly considers school performance.

The LGB considers:

• Self-evaluation against current OFSTED criteria and the School Development Plan
• Monitoring activities undertaken by the Trust
• Local and contextualised issues
• Direction from the Trust Board
