The Tenax Schools Trust Local Committee   
 

Local governance matters in our Trust. It is what ensures our schools are rooted in their communities. Local committees work with leaders and to ensure unique Christian ethos and character are at the forefront of the school’s work.

For children, staff, and schools to flourish, governance at all levels of the Trust must be highly effective. 

Each school in the Trust has a Local Committee. The Local Committee is a sub committee of the full Board of the Trust. The Board asks each Committee to know and understand key aspects of the school’s work.

The Committee includes members of the local community appointed by the Trustees, as well as elected parents and staff members.

Fordcombe CE Primary School currently has 6 Committee members.

Mrs Julie Burton, Executive Headteacher (Ex officio)

Mrs Sue Woods, Local Committee Chair

Reverend Lisa Cornell; Trust appointed,

Mr Mark Hurst; Trust appointed,

Mrs Chloe Archard; Parent elected,

Mrs Susie Lloyd; Trust appointed

Our interim clerk to the Local Committee is Ms J. Hasse.

Our Committee meets 3 times per year. Individual Committee members also visit the school to better understand the work of the school.

For more information about Trust governance including the work of the Local Committee, please 

If you wish to contact the Local Committee Chair, Mrs Sue Woods, by letter please send c/o the School Office or email the Clerk to the local committee –clerk@fordcombe.kent.sch.uk
