The Local Academy Council (LAC) at St Thomas More plays a vital role in supporting the mission and strategic direction of the Catholic Multi Academy Trust (CMAT) at a local level. Rooted in the values and teachings of the Catholic Church, theLACserves as a key link between the individual academy, its parish community, and the wider Trust. The primary responsibilities of theLACinclude:
Faithful Stewardship and Ethos: Uphold and promote the Catholic identity, values, and mission of the academy, ensuring Gospel principles guide all aspects of school life.
Advocacy and Ambassadorship: Act as advocates of the Trust’s vision and strategy while serving as ambassadors for the local academy within the Trust, parish and wider community to build partnerships.
Impact and Accountability: Provide local support and challenge to school leaders by monitoring standards, inclusion, safeguarding, and ensuring effective implementation of Trust policies.
TheLACoperates within the governance framework established by All Saints Catholic Academy Trust, with delegated responsibilities defined by the TrustLAC. Through Collaboration, faith, and service, theLACcontributes to the flourishing of each academy as a place of excellence, faith formation, and holistic development.
Formed in 2016, as part of the Diocese of Westminster's Academy Strategy, we provide a collaborative
structure of school support and innovation for Catholic schools in South West Hertfordshire. Our vision
of an 'Outstanding Education for All' comes from this desire to enable all members of school communities
to flourish and succeed and to do all that we can to make our schools places where ambition for all is
at the heart of everything that we do.
