Local Committee

Welcome from the Chair of the Local Committee

On behalf of all the members of the Local Committee of Puttenham Church of England Infant School (Puttenham), I would like to extend a warm welcome and take this opportunity to explain to you how we operate.

In May 2024 Puttenham joined the Good Shepherd Trust, which is a multi-academy trust. This resulted in our existing governing body converting to a local committee of the Good Shepherd Trust. As a local committee, we are responsible for:

• Establishing the strategic direction
• Ensuring accountability
• Overseeing compliance
• Ensuring risks to the organisation are managed

Our local committee consists of staff; parents and other local figures, who each bring with them a variety of expertise and experiences.  We meet regularly throughout the year. 

We along with the Good Shepherd Trust are all committed to ensuring that Puttenham school offers all children a wonderful start to their educational journey.
