Childeric Primary School Playing in Playground

Governance

Local Committee 

Childeric Primary School is delighted to be part of the Nexus Education Schools Trust (NEST), a multi academy trust made up of nineteen schools located in the Boroughs of Lewisham, Southwark and Bromley.

Whilst working closely with NEST, day-to-day governance is carried out by the Childeric Local Committee. 

The Childeric Local Committee includes: 
  • Headteacher
  • 2 elected staff committee members 
  • 2 elected parent committee members 
  • 2 community committee members
     

The staff committee members are elected by the staff and normally serve for 4 years. 

The parent committee members are elected to serve the local committee by parents of the school and normally serve for 4 years. 

Parent committee members are pleased to hear about views and ideas and can be contacted in writing via the school office. 

Our Local Committee focuses on four main areas of the school's performance and provision: 
  • Achievement, Curriculum and Standards 
  • Inclusion (encompassing SEND, vulnerable groups and pupils eligible for the pupil premium grant (PPG)) 
  • Provision, Resources and Finance 
  • Safeguarding including (compliance, attendance and pupil welfare)
